Mecy Ross Hubbard was born in Marion county, Ill., January 2nd, 1873, and died in this city Dec. 20th, 1899. When a child three years of age she came to Ottawa county with her parents where she resided until 1893, when she moved with her parents to Oklahoma. In May 1897, she was married to J. M. Hubbard, of this city, at the home of her parents in Perry, Okla., and again moved to this city where she resided until her death, loved and respected by all who knew her. About two years ago her health commenced to fail, but nothing serious was apprehended until about a year ago when her husband consulted a physician and she returned on a visit to Oklahoma in the hope that a change of climate would be of benefit to her health. But change of climate, medical skill and loving care could do nothing to bring back the departed health, and on the 20th of last December she passed over the dark river into the world beyond. The bereaved husband and parents have the sincere sympathy of all in their sorrow. Mrs. Hubbard was one of those true women who make the world better and brighter for their having lived in it and her untimely death is mourned by all who knew her.

Young Married Lady Dies Suddenly
The citizens of Stockton were greatly shocked to learn on Monday morning that Mrs. J. M. Hubbard had a short time before passed to the other world, without previous warning of the great change. The lady had retired the night before in her usual health and spirits, and though for some time she had not been well, yet not the slightest premonitary sign of anything serious was shown. About 4 o'clock in the morning Mr. Hubbard was awakened by the heavy breathing of his wife, who was lying on her back. Thinking to relieve her he turned her on her side, when she quickly grew worse, and though he summoned Dr. Book at once, before his arrival she was dead. It was a terrible blow to the bereaved husband, unprepared as he was for such a dire calamity. The remains were taken to Zurich where her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. Shively reside, on Tuesday morning and the funeral was held at the M. E. Church. A large number of sorrowing friends from that community, and several from Stockton were present. The sermon was given by the pastor of the West Plainville Church.
Berneice Shively Hubbard was born in Pennsylvania, January 28, 1876. When a very small child she came to Rooks County with her parents, and for six years prior to her marriage lived in Stockton with the family of G. N. Wolf, who were greatly attached to her. She was married October 10, 1904, to J. M. Hubbard and leaves a devoted husband and a little boy Charles, aged about 2 years. She was a member of the M. E. Church and lived a consistent Christian life, beloved by a large circle of friends, who will cheirsh her memory as one who left the world brighter and better for having lived in it. -Rooks County Record
The deceased was the wife of James Hubbard, formerly of this city, and is quite well known here. She was the second wife of Mr. Hubbard, the first one being Mecy Ross, of this city, and an employee in this office for a number of years. She died several years ago. Mr. Hubbard will have the sympathy of many Minneapolis people in his sad bereavement.

Obituary - Mrs. J. M. Hubbard
The passing of Mrs. J. M. Hubbard of Webster last Sunday morning was sad news to her friends, many of whom did not know that she had been in poor health. She became seriously ill last Sunday morning and lived only twenty-four hours. Reports that her death was caused by ptomaine poisoning or quick pneumonia were erroneous. Her physician, Dr. Brown diagnosed her case and pronounced her death due to that subtle malady, diabetes.
Pearl Shively was born March 22, 1883 at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Shively of Plainville, in Rooks county. In this home she grew to beautiful womanhood. She came to Stockton when a young woman to be with her sister Bernice, Mr. Hubbard's former wife, who after the birth of her baby Charles, developed heart trouble and lived but a short time. After her sister's death, Miss Shively devoted herself to the young child, lavishing upon him devotion comparable only to that which he would have received from his own mother. When Mr. Hubbard lived in Stockton where he was engaged in the jewelry business, Miss Shively continued to care for the boy, either here or at the home of her parents. After Mr. Hubbard moved to Webster, he and Miss Shively were united in marriage, June 7, 1916, since which time she not only continued her devotion to the boy, now a lad of fifteen years, but has been her husband's good faithful helpmeet, assisting him in his business as well as in his home. During the periods when Mrs. Hubbard lived in Stockton she made many friends who admired her for her beauty of face and figure, and still more for the beautiful traits of character which were reflected in her motherly care of her little nephew. The funeral services will be at the home, and will be conducted by the Rev. L. F. Arend. Interment will be in the family lot at Zurich cemetery. The time of the funeral obsequies is not yet decided, as the storm --now abating--has made the Webster road impassable, and the road to Zurich may also require opening.
Our hearts to out in sympathy to Mr. Hubbard, who is again bereft of his companion, and to the young son who is once more deprived of a mother's love. --Rooks Co. Record, Dec. 11, 1919.
J. M. Hubbard is the son of Chas. Hubbard fo this city. He will be remembered by many of our readers, and all will be very sorry to hear of the death of his wife.
