Hubbard, wife of B. B. Hubbard, aged 64 years, 6 months and 15 days. The subject of the above notice was born in Windsor, Ashtabula county, Ohio, January 22, 1828, where she lived until she arrived at maturity, when in a short time was called upon to follow the remains of her husband to his last resting place, the grave. In the course of time she married a man by the name of Ranney, after which they moved to Kansas, having two children by him, a boy and a girl, but she was destined to drink the bitter cup of sorrow. When her children were about fifteen and thirteen respectively, her son was killed by the falling of a tree on him, and just one year from that time, her husband was killed in the same manner. On December 31, 1878, she was married to B. B. Hubbard, and in 1887, moved with her husband and daughter to Jackson county, Oregon, settling in Eagle Point, where she lived till the day of her death. She became religious at about thirty years of age, and spent the remainder of her days in God's service, being an active worker in the Sabbath school, exemplifying a true Christian character. She leaves a long list of friends, who sympathize with her husband and daughter in their bereavement, but they feel that their loss is her eternal gain. One less on earth! Its pains, its sorrows and its toils to share; One less the pilgrim's daily cross to bear; One more the crown of ransomed souls to wear, At home in heaven. One more in heaven! Another thought to brighten cloudy days; Another theme of thankfulness and praise; Another link on high our souls to raise, To home and heaven. -A.C.H.
