Index to birth record, Thamesville, Kent Co., ON: Hubbell Earl Darius born 8 Dec 1886.

Thamesville Herald, Thursday 7 September 1911
Mr. E. D. Hubbell left this week to resume his medical studies at Queen's University, Kingston. "Doc" is one of Thamesville's most popular young men and we shall all miss his smiling face during the dreary winter months.

Thamesville Herald, Thursday 26 April 1923
Major Earl D. Hubbell Dies From Pneumonia - Son of the Late E. S. and Mrs. Hubbell, Passes Away in Saskatchewan after a Few Days' Illness - Enlisted with First Canadian Contingent in 1914 and went overseas with that Unit - Promoted from Rank of Private to that of Major. Prominent Thamesville Man.
A telegram to his mother here on Monday of this week announced the serious illness in the hospital at Prince Albert, Sask., of Major Earl D. Hubbell, M. D. and early on Tuesday evening stated that he had passed away, after a short illness with pneumonia. Major Hubbell, who was 36 years of age, was a son of the late E. S. and Mrs. Hubbell. He was born in Thamesville where he received his early school education, later taking up his studies at Queen's University, Kingston, from which institution he graduated in 1912. After returning from overseas in July, 1919, he spent several months at his home here, then went West where he commenced practising at Canwood, about fifteen miles from Prince Albert.
At the outbreak of the world war in 1914 Major Hubbell was in Ottawa and immediately applied to General Hughes for permission to go overseas, but being a medical man his application was refused. Soon afterwards, upon learning of the formation of the Sifton Motor Machine Gun Brigade, he enlisted with that unit and went to England with the First Canadian Continent, as a private. After a few months at Salisbury plains, he was transferred to No. 1 Canadian Field Ambulance with which corps he was connected in France for eighteen months, during which time he had been promoted to rank of lieutenant. From No. 1 Field Corps he was later transferred to No. 7 Canadian General hospital with the rank of major and where he remained until the conclusion of hostilities.
Major Hubbell was a young man of splendid physique. He was a fine, manly young fellow, quiet and unassuming in manner and very straightforward and honorable. He was very dependable and could be counted on to do his full duty, in what ever circumstances he found himself. He was popular in his home town, with his classmates at the university and with all ranks of the army.
Besides his mother he is survived by two brothers, Messrs. G. C. and J. O. of Thamesville. The former brother left Monday noon for Prince Albert and will remain there for a few days to wind up the business of deceased.
Funeral arrangements have not as yet been completed, but the body will be brought here for burial probably next Monday.
