JAMES N. HUBLER, an honored pioneer of California, now residing in Mulberry, San
Benito county, was born in Pine township, Northumberland county, Pennsylvania,
May 12, 1828. His parents were Moses and Sarah (Newberry) Hubler, both natives
of the Keystone State, the former of Pennsylvania Dutch parentage. The father
was a weaver by trade, which was his principal occupation, although he engaged
at times in general mechanical work. They were the parents of six sons and six
daughters, all but one, a son, living to maturity, of whom the subject of this
sketch is the only one residing in California.

  James N. Hubler, whose name heads this notice, learned the blacksmith's trade
in Youngstown, Ohio, which occupation he has followed for forty-two years. He
came to California via the Isthmus, landing in San Francisco, June 17, 1854; on
the 18th he went to Sacramento, and on the 19th commenced work at his trade. He
was thus occupied in that city for two years, and then went to Tehuantepec,
Mexico. He followed his trade exclusively until 1882, but has since divided his
time between farming and blacksmithing. He now owns 160 acres in San Benito
county, nearly all of which is tillable land. He has made many improvements, and
has, altogether, a very valuable piece of property. Although too busily occupied
to take any very great interest in politics, yet his constituents have shown
their appreciation of him as a citizen by electing him to the office of
Constable, which position he filled to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.

  Mr. Hubler was first married in 1854, in Sacramento, to Miss Eugenie Laurant,
an intelligent lady of French parentage. This happy union was dissolved by death
in 1864, the devoted wife leaving one son, Eugene William, now a prosperous
blacksmith, residing near Oakland, California. Mr. Hubler remained single for
three years, and then married Cayatana Penia, an estimable lady, who was born
and reared in Durango, the capital of the State of the same name, Mexico. They
have had nine children, eight now living.

  Thus in brief is outlined the life of a man of the purest morality, strictest
toil, and unbounded good-will toward his fellow-men.
