FRANK S. HUBBARD, one of the first settlers of Midland township, Hand 
county, and one of its most successful farmers, has his home on section 
28. 

Mr. Hubbard was born in Fulton county, New York, October 1, 1849. His 
parents, Allen and Julia (Blowers) Hubbard, were also natives of Fulton 
county, New York, and were engaged in farming. In 1855 they removed to 
Rock county, Wisconsin, where they conducted a farm until the father's 
death in 1857. The mother is now living, at the age of seventy-seven 
years, in Waterloo, Iowa. They were the parents of six children, four 
sons and two daughters, of whom our subject is the only one residing in 
Hand county. The grandfather, Jacob Hubbard, died in Fulton county, New 
York, having been a resident of that county all his life. 

Frank S. Hubbard was reared and educated principally in Wisconsin, 
where he early began to work upon the farm. He learned the carpenter's 
trade and followed that calling to some extent, and also worked at the 
blacksmith's trade. In 1864 he removed to Blackhawk county, Iowa, but 
after a short residence there, went to Butler county, Iowa, but 
subsequently returned to Blackhawk county. He later located in Hamilton 
county, Iowa, until 1882, when he located in Hand county, Dakota 
Territory. He first landed at Ree Heights, and in August his family 
joined him, and they settled four miles north of that village. He 
proved up on this land, and later took his present farm, in December, 
1882, the southwest quarter of section 28, Midland township, where he 
since resided. He has improved it and has it all under cultivation, and 
is making a success of his farm operations,'being engaged largely in 
the stock business. 

Mr. Hubbard was married in 1869 to Miss Mary Cantonwine, a native of 
Benton county, Iowa. To Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard have been born six 
children, as follows: Julia B., now Mrs. J. M. Fisher; Charles W., 
George L., Bert M., William F., and Clarence A., all of whom are now 
living. The family are members of the Christian church. In political 
views Mr. Hubbard is a Republican. He takes a keen interest in public 
affairs, assisted in organizing his township, and has held most of its 
offices at different times.
