G. A. HUBNER (Gustaf A. Hubner) - Vol III, pg 652
Prominent among the representative business men of Minneapolis is G. A. Hubner,
one of the leading photographers of the Northwest. He was born in Burlington,
Iowa, on the 17th of July, 1873, a son of August and Anna Johanna (Zurmuhelen)
Hubner, both natives of Germany.
In the acquirement of his education G. A. Hubner attended the parochial schools
of Burlington. At an early age he started in the business in which he is now
engaged, as errand boy for a leading photographer in that city. After three
years of appren­iceship he went to Baltimore, Maryland, and after one year in
that city moved to Wheeling, West Virginia, and from there went to Cleveland,
Ohio, where he held a leading position at good pay for three years. In the fall
of 1895 he came to Minneapolis and during the following eleven years was
employed in the studio of the man who was at the head of the photographing
business in this city. Upon the demise of his employer in 1906, Mr. Hubner
opened a studio of his own at No. 518 Nicollet avenue and he achieved success
from the start. In fact, his business grew so rapidly that he was compelled to
move to larger and better quarters and he then took possession of the studio he
now conducts, which is up-to-date in every respect and always prepared to turn
out the best work skill in its line can produce. Mr. Hubner believes that
satisfied patrons are the best advertisement and he endeavors to give
satisfaction at rates as reasonable as circumstances will allow. His new studio
is located at No. 1030 Nicollet avenue.
On the 27th of January, 1898, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Hubner to Miss
Sigred M. Gabrielson of this city and they have a daughter, Gladys. Since
attaining his majority Mr. Hubner has followed an independent course in
politics, giving his support to the man he thinks best fitted for the office
without regard to party principles. The religious faith of the family is that of
the Lutheran church and fraternally Mr. Hubner is a thirty-second degree Mason,
a member of Minneapolis Lodge, No. 19, A. F. & A. M.; St. John's Chapter; Darius
Commandery, K. T.; and Zuhrah Temple of the Mystic Shrine. Socially Mr. Hubner
is identified with the Eclipse Club, one of the oldest and most exclusive clubs
in the state, of which he is now president, and he belongs to the Automobile
Club. Along the lines of his profession he is con­nected with the Photographer's
Association of North America. Although the greater part of his time and
attention are concentrated upon his business, Mr. Hubner is a public-spirited
citizen and no movement for the development or improvement of the general
welfare seeks his aid in vain.
