From the "Rockford Register", Rockford, Iowa, September 10, 1936. "91 Years Old Next Saturday" "C. M. Hubbard, a pioneer resident of this community, will observe his 91st birthday Saturday, Sept. 12. This gives Mr. Hubbard the distinction of being the oldest person in the immediate vicinity of Rockford. Charles M. Hubbard was one of a family of twelve children. He was born in St. Lawrence county, New York. When he was six years of age his family moved to Indiana, two years later coming to lowa. Log Cabin Built The family first settled in the northeast corner of Floyd county. A log cabin was built on the bank of Rock Creek near where it joins the Cedar River, and this was the family home for some time. Mr. Hubbard Sr., bought 160 acres of government land at $1.25 per acre. Wild game roamed the woods and furnished an important part of the living. At one time a herd of 13 deer was seen. Bear, otter, beaver and coon were also plentiful, while pickerel, muscolonge, black bass, red horse and suckers were taken from the waters of the river and creek. The first store bulding in Osage was built by Mr. Hubbard and his brother-in-law. Indian Alarm These pioneer days were not without their thrills, and one of these came to the settlers when the Indians fell on New Ulm, Minn., and massacred the inhabitants. Word reached the Hubbards that the Indians were headed for Iowa. Mr. Hubbard gathered his family together and, in the company with neighbors, they set out in an old scow for Bradford. The trip came to an end in Charles City, where the boat went over the dam. The alarm about the Indians proved to be false. Family Moves to Rockford On July 4, 1869, Charles Hubbard was married to Miss Maggie Elliott, and they established their home on Spring Creek. Later they lived on a farm north of Rudd for a number of years. After living for short periods on two different farms north of Rockford, Mr. Hubbard moved to the farm he now lives upon, which he had purchased two years earlier. Here Mr. Hubbard built up his home, setting out trees, and erecting a complete set of buldings as the years passed. Later Mr. Hubbard worked at his trade of carpenter for some fifteen or twenty years. There has probably not been a more active man in the community than Mr. Hubbard, and until recently he has worked side by side with his son Walter. He also has one daughter, Rosa." From the "Rockford Register", Rockford, Iowa, November 25, 1943. "C. M. Hubbard Final Rites Wednesday P. M." "After a life span of nearly a century, death came Sunday evening at 6 o'clock to Charles M. Hubbard, at his home two miles northwest of town. Charles Morley Hubbard was born Sept. 12, 1845 at Pottsdam, New York, and at the age of 8 years came with his parents to Lithograph City in Mitchell county. On July 4, 1869 he was married to Miss Maggie Elliott of Floyd county. With the exception of a few years in Mitchell county, they have spent their life on their present farm. To this union two children were born, Rosa M., and Walter, who with the widow, survives Mr. Hubbard. For 60 years Mr. Hubbard lived on his present farm where he did carpentry work as well as engaged in farming. He experienced the hardships of early pioneering as he carved for himself a niche in the world. He lived to witness all the transitions from oxcart days to the present time of scientific progress and achievement. He enjoyed good health until a few years ago, but was able to be about until ten days before his death. Funeral services were held at 1 o'clock Wednesday from his late home, with the Reverends F. A. Smith and C. G. Fort officiating. Burial was at Riverside cemetery, Rockford." (Thanks to Ann Bowler for these obituaries)
