"EDWARD M. HUBBARD

After an illness of about four weeks duration, Edward M. Hubbard succumbed Saturday afternoon at about four o'clock to meningitis. All day Saturday his condition grew more critical and late in the afternoon he quietly answered his final summons,

Edward M. Hubbard was taken by death just after his entrance into active life. Married, but a little over a year and about to enter his chosen profession of law with new enthusiasm, the death seems all the sadder.

The deceased was born in Napoleon twenty-three years ago. He came to Defiance with his parents but a short time later and has spent practically his entire life in the city Although but a young man, Mr. Hubbard held the position of court reporter receiving his appointment four years ago. He was also a justice of the peace. It was his intention to go to Columbus in the near future where he was to take up the study of his chosen profession, law, along advanced lines. Mr. Hubbard was a graduate of the Defiance High School, graduating with the class of 1900. He had a bright future before him, had he lived.

A little over a year ago, he was united in marriage to Miss Maude Harley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Perry Harley. The young couple had but settled down when death brought grief and sorrow.

The deceased is survived by widow, mother and two sisters, Mrs. Frank Case and Miss Nan Hubbard, residing in Cleveland at the present. The father, Judge Hubbard, died about two years ago.

The funeral will occur Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Harley home on Holgate Avenue, Reverends Cooper and Bigler officiating. The body will be placed in the Holgate vault at Riverside."
