E. A. HUBBARD With this bio is a photo. Please let me know if you would like it. E. A. Hubbard was born in the town of reading, Schuyler Co., N.Y., Oct. 18, 1816. His father, Ezekiel Hubbard, was a native of Massachusetts. He was a resident of Bridgewater, Oneida Co.; of Reading,Schuyler Co.; of the town of Jersalem, yates Co., and about the year 1821 settled in the town of Prattsburgh, about six miles west of the village. While a resident of the town of Bridgewater he was a soldier of the war of 1812-14, and went to Sacket's Harbor to defend the frontier against the invasion of the British. He married Mary M., daughter of Nicholas Rouse, Esq. She was a native also of Massachusetts. Their children were Mrs. Truman Strong, of Prattsburgh (deceased); Nicholas R., of Livingston County; Ezekiel T. (deceased), of Prattsburgh; Ephraim A. Hubbard, of Prattsburgh; Albert H., of Galesbury, Mich.; and Henry M., of North Cohocton. The father spent the remainder of his life after settling in Prattsburgh, as a farmer, and was connected with many of the pioneer interests of the town. He died at about the age of seventy. the wife survived her husband only some three years, and died also at about the age of seventy. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard were early members of the baptist Church here, and were connected as such before there was any church edifice. Mr Hubbard had limited opportunities for an education from books. At the age of twenty he purchased the time before reaching hismajority of his father, and with his brothers, Nicholas R. and Ezekiel T., purchased two hundred and twenty eight acres of land. In the year 1838 he married Laura C., daughter of Judge Ezra Chapin, a pioneer in the settlement of the town. She was born in Prattsburgh, April 15, 1819. Soon after his marriage he disposed of his interest in the farm to his brothers, and for three years remained somewhat unsettled in business, during which time, for two terms, he was a teacher in the common school. In 1840 he purchased a farm of eighty-eight acres, made improvements of fine buildings and orchards on it, and occupied it as a farm for sixteen years. In 1856 he disposed of this farm and purchased one contiguous to the one he now owns, a mile and a half west of the village of Prattsburgh. During his career as a farmer he has been known as an intelligent and representative agriculturist. His life has been one of activity, industry, and prudence, preferring the quiet of a business life to official notoriety. In December, 1873, he removed from his farm and settled in the village where he now resides. Mr. Hubbard has ever been a staunch member of the Democratic party; was for one term commissioner of schools; served also as commissioner of highways, and has been interested in all local matters connected with the growth of the town. he and his wife have been mmbers of the Baptist Church,-the former since two years prior to his marriage, the latter from five years after her marriage until her death, which occurred Dec. 12, 1878. Mr. Hubard is a liveral supporter of church and educational interests, and a lover of law and order in society. In the capacity of a wife and mother Mrs. Hubbard has well illustrated the noblest sphere of a women's work. She was careful of her home, and made it the dearest spot on earth for those who were there to be protected, and through its consecrated influences guided to a better home above. In her private life she ws truly a wife and mother-beloved, quiet, patient, and gentle. Their children are Frances G., Maria M., and Albert A. all deceased.
