From the Manitowoc Herald, 15 Dec 1855:
Oliver C. Hubbard died.
*******
At Manitowoc Rapids, on the 10th inst., Mr. O.C. Hubbard, aged 56 years.
Mr. Hubbard was one of the earliest settlers of Manitowoc County, and
has during his residence here, witnessed changes of no common kind.
As one of the pioneers of this country, he has seen the abode of the
wolf, panther, and wild savage, transformed into the home of enlightened
civilization, and he had the proud satisfaction of knowing that the labor
of his hands, and the influence of his counsels contributed to swell the
prosperity which everywhere surrounded him.
Those who knew him, will recall with grateful recollections, many evidences
of the true and warm-hearted kindness which was his distinguished
characteristic. A kind husband, a loving and indulgent parent, a good
citizen and a sincere Christian, whose virtues shone through the practice
of his every day life, he will be missed, not only in the home circle, but
by all who have ever felt the warm grasp of the hand which was ever the
true index of his noble heart.
The funeral on Wednesday morning, was attended by a large concourse of
citizens, and an able address from an appropriate text was deliverd by
Rev. M. Hoyt, rector of St. James Church.
"After Life's fitfull fever, he sleeps well."
