The Carson City Gazette, Thursday, March 28, 1946


Mrs. Fred Chick, one of Hubbardston’s best loved and highly respected women, 
passed away very suddenly at 5:30 a.m. Friday, March 22nd.  She had not been in 
the best of health for several years, but had always been able to take a fairly 
active part in the work of her church and community.

Mrs. Chick was born August 11, 1872 in Montcalm county, the daughter of Hiram 
and Susan Haring.  She attended rural schools in Gratiot county and the high 
school in Hubbardston and except for a few year at Ithaca, where her father was 
county clerk, she has lived in this community.  For several years she taught 
music lessons.  May 1905 she as united in marriage to Chas. A. Ludwick.  To 
this union was born a daughter, Florence, who survives.  Mr. Ludwick passed 
away in December 1929.

On June 11, 1932 she was married to Fred Chick and for the last 13 years they 
have lived on the farm north of Hubbardston where she passed away.  In early 
childhood she united with the Methodist church, and has been a most zealous 
worker in every department since.  Mrs. Chick worked for years as the 
corresponding secretary and president of the Woman’s Missionary Society, has 
always been a member of the Ladies Aid, a member of the choir a good many 
years, and was never called on for work that she did not respond willingly as 
long as she was able.

Mrs. Chick is the last member of the family of five, two sisters and two 
brothers preceding her in death.  Besides the husband, who survives, she leaves 
a daughter, Florence Hansen of Stanton, two grandchildren, Joanne and Gene 
Hansen, two stepsons, Howard and George Chick of Maple Rapids, step-
grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and a host of friends.  She was a real 
neighbor, a friend and helper to all in time of need.  A true Christian, 
unassuming, quiet and loved by all who knew her.  She will be greatly missed in 
the community by both young and old. 

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 in the Hubbardston 
Methodist church with arrangements in charge of Abbott Funeral Home of Maple 
Rapids. Rev. Park Newcomb officiated and interment was in Westside cemetery.
