Black River Falls Banner Journal
MRS. JACOB M. HUBERT

Mrs. Jacob Hubert passed away at the Milwaukee General hospital in Milwaukee, 
on Wednesday, Feb. 2, 1944, at 7:55 p.m.  For 14 years a sufferer of heart 
trouble and high blood pressure she was taken worse in January and removed to 
the hospital where the end came.  Her daughter, Miss Doris, remained with her 
constantly from Sunday of January 30 until the spirit took its flight.

Brief services for her Milwaukee friends were held in that city the night of 
February 3rd, the Rev. Schultz officiating.  The remains were then brought to 
Black River Falls by her daughter, Miss Doris, her sister-in-law, Mrs. Minnie 
Kimball, and her brother-in-law, Fred Hubert.

Burial services were at the Ness Funeral Home Saturday afternoon, Feb. 5th at 
2:00 p.m.  Rev. George Bell, of the Methodist church, was in charge.  There 
were songs by Rufus Dimmick, accompanied by Mrs. Jennie White.  Interment was 
in Riverside cemetery by the side of her husband.  Pall bearers were Bennie 
Stratton, Howard Stratton, Carl Stratton, Nett Hostrawser, Fred Hubert and 
Julius Hubert.  Flowers were sent from Chicago and Milwaukee, and from local 
relatives and friends.  Gertrude Mae Stratton was born Feb. 18, 1876, in the 
town of Irving.  She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Stratton.  Her 
mother died when she was but six years of age and her father two years later.  
She lived for some time at the homes of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. 
Chester Stratton, the Rev. O. L. Hubbard, and Mr. and Mrs. Loren Drew, all in 
the Trout Run settlement.

She attended high school at Black River Falls and upon receiving her teachers 
certificate she taught at the Horswill, Cloverdale and O’Brien schools.  March 
24, 1906, she was united in marriage with Jacob Martin Hubert.  There was a 
double wedding at Mauston, with Nellie Drew and Will Wensel being the other 
couple.  They still live in the Trout Run country.

One daughter, Doris Lucille, survives.  She has employment in Chicago.  She 
deeply mourns the passing of her good mother.  Her father died June 28, 1929, 
at Waukegan, Ill.  His illness was of considerable duration during which Mrs. 
Hubert was his faithful attendant.

Mr. and Mrs. Hubert soon came to Black River Falls and built a nice home for 
themselves on Price Hill.  The residence was sold in 1927, they moving to St. 
Paul where Mr. Hubert was construction superintendent on the Ford bridge, 
later moving to Waukegan.

Mrs. Hubert was a consistent member of the Trout Run Methodist church, and was 
a member and past president of the Woman’s Relief Corps o ft his city.  She 
was one of the best of wives and mothers.  All who knew her loved and 
respected her.  She devoted her life to the interests of her husband and 
daughter.  She was a friendly and an obliging neighbor and will be sadly 
missed and mourned by her many friends near whom she lived so many years.  The 
sympathy of all goes out to the daughter who survives, and to other relatives.

Those attending the funeral from away, besides the daughter, were:  Mrs. 
Minnie Kimball, Milwaukee, Mr. and Mrs. Holgia Johnson and son Lyle of 
LaCrosse; Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Kleven and daughter Kathleen, Onalaska; Mr. and
