EARLY PIONEER TAKEN BY DEATH
MRS. MARY HUBBELL PASSED
AWAY AT SON'S HOME ---
BURIAL MADE HERE
Mary C. Adams was born in Belle Prairie, Minnesota, January 4, 1853 and was the second daughter of Rev. and Mrs. A. B. Adams who were missionaries to the Indians included in the government reservations of the Northwest at that time.
On account of the Indian wars throughout that region in the early sixties and because of a desire to give their six children the advantages of an education, the family came to Benzonia. They traveled by ox team and covered wagon to Milwaukee, and crossed the lake to Manistee on a sailing vessel.
The trip from Manistee to Benzonia about thirty-five miles, through almost an unbroken forest, required nearly a week. When word reached Benzonia that the Adams family was headed this way, a party of volunteers went out to meet them and helped clear a road for the new settlers. Among this party was a young man, John J. Hubbell, who some twenty-five years later married the subject of this sketch.
After graduating from Grand Traverse College and spending some time teaching in the district schools of Benzie County, Miss Adams was married to Mr. Hubbell in August 1886.
The following year they moved to Manistee, where Mr. Hubbell was employed as chief engineer of the new Manistee and Northwestern Railroad, which position he held until his death in the Spring of 1913.
Since her husband's death Mrs. Hubbell has made her home with her son, Howard, except at the time of his Army service in Russia, during the World War, when she spent a season with her brothers in California.
For several years Mrs. Hubbell has been an invalid, and after a long life of helpful and unselfish service for others, death came as a release, at the home of her son in Jackson, Michigan, on Friday morning, January 5, 1928, following by one day the 75th anniversary of her birth.
She is survived by two brothers, W. Henry, and John Quincy, both of Pomona, California, also three step-children, Clarence W. of Milford, Michigan; Mrs. J. Mason Smith, of Hurley, Wisconsin and John J. Jr., of Yakima, Washington and her son Howard A. Hubbell of Jackson, Michigan.
Mrs. Hubbell united with the church here when a girl about fifteen years of age, and has been a faithful member of other churches where her lot has been cast. The body was returned here for burial in the family lot, and the very appropriate services were held in the old home church in Benzonia, last Sunday afternoon, January 8th, after three score years of consistent loyalty to the Master she delighted to serve.
The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. A.B. Eby and the funeral was in charge of Mr. B. G. Bennett.
