Obituary from the Hubbell Center, file T (copied by someone, probably from a West Branch paper, 1901):
Mrs. William E. Hubbell - Again death has entered our village, and this time he has borne away on his sable wings one who for months has been lingering on the border, just this side the veil that hides from us the future and all its mysteries. Those who do tenderly watched by the bedside of the patient sufferer had known for weeks that the parting must be near but when any words to that effect were uttered the reply was "I'm not going to die today."
On Thursday morning of last week Mrs. Hubbell called for the pictures of her departed husband, her son and her daughter's husband, and remarking that she had just one more day to live, she took her last look at the pictured faces of the absent one and the ones she was so soon to join, kissed them many times and laid them away. Soon after this she seemed to become unconscious, and in this condition she remained until Friday morning, when, as she had foretold, the angels carried her to her heavenly home. Such patient christian fortitude is seldom seen as has been exhibited in her long and painful illness. During it all she has had the watchful care of her nurse and her three daughters, each of whom has considered no sacrifice too great to make for the beloved mother. One or all of them have been at her side constantly, and all that love could do for her has been done to ease her leave taking.
Elizabeth Wherry was born March 27, 1831 in Davenport, England. Her parents moved to this country when she was a babe and settled in Wayne County. On the 22nd of October 1853 she was married to William E. Hubbell. Mr. and Mrs. Hubbell moved to West Branch 16 years ago where they continued to reside until Mr. Hubbell's death May 9, 1897. Since then Mrs. Hubbell has been with her daughter in Texas part of the time. There are four children in the family, all of whom are living. Mrs. L. Cook, Mrs. J. Myers and Mrs. C. S. Raymoure have been with their mother throughout her sickness. The son, William H., is in Washington and was not able to come to her. The funeral occurred on Sunday last at the Methodist Church of which the departed had been a faithful and exemplary member for years. She is sincerely mourned, but her beautiful life will continue, like a benediction, to shed its hallowing influence over those who for a time are left behind.

From Debra Eddy:
On 22 Oct 1855 when William E. [Hubbell] was 24, he married Elizabeth WHERRY, in Wayne Co, MI. Born on 27 Mar 1831 in Davenport, England. Elizabeth died in West Branch, Ogemaw Co, MI on 12 Dec 1901; she was 70. William & Elizabeth had 5 children--Arthur, Mary, Adah, Jennie & William G.. All three Hubbell sisters died within a few months of each other in 1929.
Elizabeth's parents were Thomas and Elizabeth (Davey) Wherry who came to America in 1832 in a 'slow sailing vessel.' Elizabeth was just a baby and there was at least one daughter just a little older. They went first to Canada where their son Thomas was born in 1834. It was some time after that they settled in the Plymouth area (Wherry p. 431).
