A native of Connecticut, having been born in Fairfield County, of that state, in 1826. He was a farmer boy, and his education to nineteen years of age was received at the public schools. He then spent two and one-half years at Oneida Institute, Whitesboro, N. Y., of which Beriah Green, the noted abolitionist, was president, and where Mr. Hubbell imbibed those political principles which have characterized all his later life. Leaving Whitesboro Mr. H. taught five years in Dutchess County, New York, when he returned to his native state and established a school at Gaylor's Bridge, in the famed Housatonic valley. In 1857 he removed to Bradford, Chickasaw County, where he for three years was engaged in mercantile pursuits. In 1861 he settled upon the farm he now occupies in the town of Franksville, Winneshiek County. He has devoted his attention to agricultural interests and pursuits, in which he has been remarkably successful. He early became interested in dairy enterprises and has now three large creameries in operation, conducted in accordance with the latest methods. In educational matters he is naturally earnest and progressive. Mr. Hubbell's age, natural ability, education, and thorough business experience, secure for him a large influence which has been wielded in behalf of wise legislation. He was married in 1860 to Miss Jane E. Witted, and has two sons, William and George L. Mr. Hubbell has twice represented his district in the Legislature of Iowa, serving in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth General Assemblies, 1880, 1882.
