Jackson Counties, Wis."
1891-Lewis Publishing Company:
HEZEKIAH HUBBELL, of section 11, Eaton
Township, Clark County, was born in Hastings County, Ontario,
November 5, 1848, the son of Ira and Mary A. (Harlow) Hubbell, both
natives of Hastings County, and both are also about sixty-six years
of age. Our subject was reared on a farm and educated in the common
schools. He worked at the blacksmith's trade with his father until
twenty-five years of age, and since that time has been engaged in
farm work mostly. He came to the United States in June, 1880, and
worked on a farm near St. Paul, Minnesota, until the fall of the
same year, when he came to this county, and in January, 1881,
brought his family here from Canada. He first worked in the
saw-mill of Thomas Miller thirteen months and eight days, and then
settled on his present farm of eighty acres, twenty-three of which
is cleared. During the winters he worked in the pineries on
contracts, in which he was quite successful. Mr. Hubbell came to
this county with only $11 in cash, and has risen to his present
position by his own unaided efforts.
He was married March 4, 1873, to Melissa Rupert, a native of
Hastings County, Ontario, and daughter of Leonard Rupert, a native
of the same county. They have two children Arthur S., born October
22, 1874, and Winnifred, August 7, 1876. Mr. Hubbell is a member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, and also of the I.O.O.F. and Modern
Woodmen.
