T. B. HUBBARD is a well-known and successful farmer of Hollister. He was born in
Sullivan county, Missouri, June 18, 1840. His father, James Hubbard, was a
farmer and carpenter and a mason by trade and occupation, and his son was born
with the true instincts of a mechanic and was successful in all his undertakings
in that line.

  Our subject crossed the plains from his native State in 1864, and lived about
four years at Middleton, twenty-five miles north of Boise City, Idaho. He then
went to Nevada and carried on a freighting business until 1871, when he engaged
in stock-raising, continuing therein until 1882, when he came to California and
purchased his present home, near Hollister, on the San Benito creek where he
owns and farms about 900 acres of the best land in San Benito county.

  Mr. Hubbard married, in Missouri, in 1875, Miss Sarah R. Purdin, daughter of
William Purdin, a farmer by occupation and an expert carpenter by trade. Mrs.
Hubbard was born June 18, 1848, and she has borne her husband six children,
namely: Harmon W., Virgil P., Eva, Lena, Ella and Edna.

  Mr. Hubbard is School Trustee of his district and an active member of long
standing in the Christian Church.
