Hinweis zur Person

William's obituary says he came to Wayne Co., MI with his parents when he was 14, which would be 1845. But his father Lyman appears in the assessments for Colchester South Twp, Essex Co., ON 1945 to 1949. However, the number of children listed in the assessments seems low, so it is possible William came to Wayne Co. with his parents, and stayed while they went to Essex Co. for a few years.

Exact marriage date from Elizabeth's obituary.

Obituary from the Hubbell Center, file T (copied by someone, probably from a West Branch paper):
Died May 9, 1897 - William E. Hubbell, an old and respected resident of West Branch, passed quietly over to the majority on Sunday morning last, after quite a lengthy and painful illness. Deceased was born at Thamesville, Canada, February 28, 1831, and was therefore in his 67th year at the time of death. He removed to the United States when a young man, locating in the village of Plymouth, Wayne County; from there he moved with his family in Foster Township. Twelve years ago he gave up farming and came to West Branch where he resided continuously since, save during the time of occasional visits to his old Canadian home and to relatives in the West. He was an excellent citizen and though taking no active part in politics or public matters, was always on the right side of all questions affecting public welfare. During all of his residence here Mr. Hubbell was in poor health, and unable to engage in active business pursuits. His final sickness dates back to about the first of March, and during the greater part of its continuance he was confined entirely to the house and suffered great bodily pain.
For many years previous to his death he had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, consistent and faithful in all things pertaining thereto; his faith was strong and perfect, ruling and guiding him through life, sustaining him upon many a bed of sickness, cheering and comforting his last hours and lighting his path down through the dark valley. Death to him was but the entrance into a newer, brighter and better life beyond.
He leaves a widow and four children: Mrs. J. Myers of Texas City, Mrs. Lester Cook, Mrs. Charles S. Raymoure and William G. Hubbell of this place, besides a number of grandchildren, to mourn his loss.
The funeral was held from the M.E. Church Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The pastor, Rev. H. F. Shier, preaching the funeral sermon. L. B. Donavan, H. D. Polhemus, S. V. Thomas, H. C. Phelps, George W. Day, and R. A. Babcock acted as pallbearers, being old time friends and acquaintences of the deceased. The remains were interred in Brookside cemetery and were followed to their last resting place by a large number of our citizens.

IN MEMORIAM - William E. Hubbell was born in Thamesville, Canada, February 28, 1831. When he was fourteen years of age his parents moved to Wayne County, Michigan and here in 1855 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Wherry, with whom he has passed forty-two years of ideal home life and happiness. He leaves his wife and four children - Mrs. L. F. Cook, Mrs. J. C. Myers, Mrs. C. S. Raymoure and William G. Hubbell - to await the meeting where parting is no more. Mr. Hubbell has been a resident of Ogemaw County eighteen years, and of West Branch twelve years, so he was well known to all our citizens, and one with so sweet and loving a disposition could but make firm friends of all who knew him. The beautiful Christian life which he has led since his conversion nineteen years ago, and his triumphant faith during the agonizing illness which released his spirit, have been often noted and have given courage and zeal to many a despondent one. His wife, chidren, except the son, all of his eleven grandchildren were able to be present to comfort his last hours, and his wife and daughters were all by his bedside when the time came that it was said of him, "This is the last of earth."
The entire community feels bereaved, and such consolation as sympathy and friendly looks can afford is certainly given without measure to the sorrowing family. (followed by 3 verse poem)
