Son of Joseph & Sarah (Davis) Chubb. Father of Stella, Minnie & Arthur.
History of the Chippewa Valley (Biography):
Harrison Colby Chubb, miller, Boyd, was born April 13, 1828, in Corinth, Orange county, Vt., and is a brother to Edson Chubb (in whose sketch, elsewhere in this volume, will be found the family genealogy). He is the fourth of a family of seven children, and was reared on the home farm and educated in the common school of the day and neighborhood. He engaged in farming until his removal to Chippewa county in 1865. He then built a saw mill on Hay creek, in Edson township (then part of Sigel), where his son now operates the third mill built on that site. The region was then a vast wilderness, and Mr. Chubb and his family endured many privations and annoyances in founding a home. Eau Claire was the nearest source of supplies, and two days were consumed in securing the services of a physician. Mr. Chubb homesteaded 120 acres, to which he has added eighty acres by purchase, and does some farming. In 1881 he built a flouring mill on this property, and operates it by steam and water power combined. His store and office is in Boyd, where he took up residence in 1889. He entertains liberal religious views, and has always been a democrat. He served in Vermont as "lister" (assessor), and has been chairman of the Edson town board. In 1855 he married Maria E., daughter of Isaac and Almira Scott, of old New England families, a native of Swanton, Vt. Mr. Chubb's family includes two daughters and a son: Stella Jane, Maria E., and Arthur Joseph.
