*****************************

John Hubbell was a quiet, peaceable man, saying little, attending to his own affairs.  After the death of his mother, he lived at different places, but never staying long away from Howard. For a number of years he performed days work, did odd jobs and for several years, delivered the Daily Star and Times to Howard readers.  For many years he turned The Courant's newpaper press until we put in an engine, and then he was our press feeder for quite a long term.  He was always faithful and dependable, until by reason of age and declining health he became unable to take regular work. John was ecentric, sensitive and sometimes "temperimental," but we always got along with him fine, and we truly mourn his passing.  He leaves a number of nephews, nieces and other relatives in this community.  Last Friday he suffered a paralytic stroke and became at once unconcious and gradually grew weaker until death relieved him Monday the 18th.
