The Washington Republican
Washington County
Friday
April 2, 1897

Leander HUBBARD died March 26, 1897, in his home eight miles northeast of
Greenleaf.
He was born in Jefferson county, N.Y., Nove. 29, 1820, and united with the
Episcopal church at the age of 14. While he has his failings as others have, his
faith in Christ as his Savior and ground of his hope has never been known to waver.
At about the age of 26 years he was married to Miss Caroline E. ALLEN of
Allegany, county, N.Y.  To them were born five children of which four survive,
Miss Estella Hubbard, Messrs, S.W. Hubbard, E. L. Hubbard and Mrs. Nettie REEDY.
Being a strong abolitionist he was among the first to answer the call lof his
country in the late civil war and remained in the service until it closed. He
then returned to his home in N.Y. State and lived there six years, after which
he moved to Des Moines, Iowa. Here he spent two years, then moved to Dallas
county where his beloved wife and daughter, Jennie died. From there he moved to
Washington county, Kansas, in 1880, with his family, where he lived until his
death. He was a member of the Masonic lodge at Washington and the Grand Army of
the Republic at Barnes.
During this winter he has been feeling very poorly, although able to be about
his business. He seemed to have a premonition that his end on earth was near,
but as late as Saturday previous to his death he drove his own team to
Washington and after his return he repeated to his family his conviction that
his departure was near and arranged his business accordingly. 
Tuesday morning before the family had risen he had a stroke of paralysis and
died from the effect Friday March 26, at 2 a.m. 
His funeral was held at Beaver Creek school house Saturday at 10:30 a.m.
conducted by Rev. Mason of Barnes. A large number of relatives and sympathizing
friends were in attendance. The remains were laid to rest in Mt. James cemetery. 
E.A.C.
