Read More	WILLIAM EFFIAH HUBBERT Lutheran minister, educator and banker, was born at Peter's Creek, on the Lynchburg Turnpike, two miles from Salem, in Roanoke County, Virginia, on October 23, 1844. His father was Samuel Hubbert, a farmer; and his mother was Mary Andes, a daughter of George Andes, of Shenandoah County, Virginia. Mr. Hubbert's ancestry is German. He grew up in the country, and much of his early life was spent in work on his father's farm. When a youth, his special interests and inclinations lay in the direction of reading and study; and historical subjects most attracted his attention. He acquired his primary education at a country school, known as McCauley's school; and later entered Roanoke College, at Salem, Virginia, from which he was graduated in 1867 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. In 1872, he received in course the degree of Master of Arts from Roanoke College, which was conferred on him for literary work done elsewhere. After graduating at Roanoke College, he entered the Lutheran Theological seminary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated in 1871. The year of his graduation at the seminary, he was called to the chair of ancient languages in North Carolina college, at Mt. Pleasant, Cabarrus county, North Carolina. He remained here in this capacity for five and a half years; when he became pastor of the Lutheran church at Blacksburg, Virginia, which position he filled for twelve years. In 1892, he was made cashier of the Bank of Blacksburg, which post he continues to occupy. Mr. Hubbert saw long and active service in defence of the South in the War between the States. He entered the army of the Confederate States as a member of the Salem Artillery, Company A, 1st regiment, Virginia artillery, in February, 1861, and served to the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. He was a non-commissioned officer during the period of his military service. Mr. Hubbert was the corresponding secretary of the North Carolina Evangelical Lutheran Synod for three years; and has been the recording secretary of the Southwest Virginia Evangelical Lutheran Synod. He has also served as a member of the council of the town of Blacksburg, having received in the election in which he was chosen to this office every vote that was cast except two. He resigned from the council, owing to a pressure of other business. Mr. Hubbert was the editor of "Our Church Paper," a Lutheran weekly newspaper, from its beginning in 1872 to its combination in 1874 with another paper, from which a third paper, "The Lutheran Church Visitor" was formed. He has been a frequent contributor to the magazines, reviews and daily newspapers. This biography has been published in Jenson's "Biography of Lutheran Ministers." Mr. Hubbert has been twice married. His first wife, who lived only six months after her marriage, was Martha, daughter of Colonel William and Mrs. Catherine Pettit. On April 20, 1873, he married Harriet Virginia Ribble, daughter of Dr. Henry Ribble, a distinguished physician of Montgomery county; of their marriage have been born six children, three of whom are still living (in 1908). A CHARTER MEMBER and President of Phi Gamma Delta [Beta Deuteron chapter] at Roanoke College.
