A. B. Chubbuck Biography
A. B. CHUBBUCK, the well-known and popular postmaster of Ipswich, and editor of the "South Dakota Tribune," has for seventeen years been prominently identified with the newspaper interests of the state, and enjoys a wide acquaintance and marked popularity in Edmunds county. A native of Pennsylvania, he was born in Wellsboro, the county seat of
Tioga county, in 1858, and is the youngest of a family of seven children. His ancestors were originally from New York state. His father, Levi Chubbuck, was a successful manufacturer of plows and other farm machinery in Wellsboro, and in 1860 was worth about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, but during the seven succeeding years up to the time of his death, in 1867, three disastrous fires destroyed his
property and he lost everything.
Our subject was educated in the schools of his native city, and after the death of his father he started out to earn his own livelihood and assist in the support of the family. After working in a brickyard in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, for three years, he went to Hudson, Wisconsin, at the age of twelve years, and attended school for three years. In
1873 he entered the office of the "Hudson Star and Times," at that place, to learn the printer's trade, and was connected with that office until coming to Aberdeen, South Dakota, May 1, 1882. The town at that time had only a population of about three hundred, while a few sod houses were scattered over the county, but there was not a settler in
Edmunds county. Mr. Chubbuck secured employment on the "Aberdeen Pioneer," as foreman, which position he held for one year, and on the 3d of May 1883, started the South Dakota Tribune" at Freeport, Edmunds county, a small inland town about two miles northeast of the site of the present town of Ipswich. In October, of that year, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad was built through the county, and when a depot was erected at Ipswich, the three towns of Freeport, Edmunds and Georgetown moved thither. When Mr. Chubbuck located there, his was the only building in the place besides a saloon; the town had not yet been platted, and the railroad had just reached a point three miles east. There he has since published his paper, and it is not only the oldest paper in the county but also has the largest circulation.
In 1887, Mr. Chubbuck was united in marriage with Miss Mary K. Rogers, a native of Rockford, Illinois, in which state her parents are still living. Personally and through his paper, Mr. Chubbuck has done much to advance the interests of the Republican party and ensure its success in this locality. He has served as a delegate to all of its state conventions and has exerted his influence on its behalf whenever the opportunity presented itself. In August 1897, he was appointed postmaster of Ipswich by President McKinley and took possession of the office the following October, the duties of which he has since discharged in a most acceptable manner.
