Mrs. Letitia Hubbard
Estimable Lady Passes to Her Reward Near Vashti.
Vashti, Va., June 30.--(Special)--
Mrs. Letitia S. Hubbard, widow of Mr. Frank Hubbard, died at her home near
here of apoplexy on Thursday the 24th at the age of 78 years.  She was born
March 31st, 1831, and was married to Mr. Frank Hubbard in the year of 1855,
and is survived by the following children:  Messrs. B. F. Hubbard, of
Roanoke; Percie Hubbard, of Randolph, Va.; J. P. Hubbard, of Callands, and
Monroe Hubbard, of Louisville, Ky.; Mrs. George Witcher, of Ajax; Mrs. J. D.
Fuller and Mrs. William Lawrence, of Callands.  One daughter, Mrs. Robert
Belcher, preceded her to the grave some twenty years ago.
     The funeral service was conducted from the residence by her pastor,
Rev. W. C. Clark, on Friday evening and her remains were laid to rest in the
family graveyard beside those of her faithful husband in the presence of a
large crowd of sorrowing and sympathizing friends.
     Twenty-seven years ago Mrs. Hubbard united with the Christian church
and was baptized by Rev. T. J. Stone.  She was an active member of County
Line church the remainder of her life and a consecrated Christian.
     She was of a cheerful disposition, kind-hearted and appreciative, noble
and sincere and possessed a large circle of friends, many of whom had gone
to eternity many years before.
     Mrs. Hubbard was a faithful wife, kind mother and a generous neighbor
and a true friend, and it was a great pleasure to be in her presence, for
she scattered sunshine and gladness along the path of life.  And amid the
many ups and downs of life she ever stood for the best, and, her ideals were
always lofty and her purposes pure and inspiring and her influence led many
to nobler and better lives.
    She is survived by one brother, Mr. Thomas Fuller, and one sister, Mrs.
William Allen, of Callands.
