  CHUBBUCK, FRANCIS STEEL, was born in Tolland, Conn., on November 12, 
1812, and died in Nichols, Tioga County, N.Y., on May 13, 1890.  He was 
the youngest and last of a family of twelve children.
  In 1817 the family moved to Orwell, Pa., where the subject of this 
sketch was converted and received into the Methodist Episcopal Church 
in 1829.
  He joined the Oneida Conference in 1849, and became a member of 
Wyoming Conference at its organization.
  In ministerial life he served many circuits, some of which 
necessitated three hundred miles' travel to make one round of 
visitation, and having about thirty appointments.  It is claimed that 
his salary averaged but three hundred dollars per year during his whole 
ministry.  He was evangelistic, indeed.  During his two pastorates of 
Northmoreland Circuit about seven hundred souls were led to Christ.
  He was twice married.  His second marriage was to Miss Elizabeth 
Shoemaker, of Nichols, N.Y., who survived him.  He was buried at 
Nichols, N.Y.
