Will Attend Services.
Special to Times Republican.

Cedar Rapids, June 13.-The funeral
of Judge N. M. Hubbard whose death
was announced in those dispatches yes
terday will be held from the residence
at o'clock Saturday afternoon. 1t is
expected that a large number of promi-
nent Iowa attorneys will be here, as
we'll as the principal officials OF the
Northwestern railroad.
Messages of coincidence are being re-
ceived from all parts of the state and
from Washington and other cities.
Judge Hubbard was born in Steu-
ben county, New York, in September,
1929. His parents We're farmers, and
the childhood days of the judge We're
passed among the rough pine hills of
New York state, where farmers had
to do an immense amount of hard
work and hustiing and digging to get
a living.
In due time the young man entered
Alfred academy in New York state.
After leaving there, where he began
the study of law, he went to the city
of Buffalo, continued his law studies,
and was admitted to the bar by the
distinguished supreme court judge
Esek Cowen. Going on a prospecting
tour thru New York to Kentucky,
thence to Wisconsin, thru various
states and back to mis- home in New
York, he concluded he would locate in
none of the places he had seen. In a
short time after returning home he was
married and came to Marion, Linn
county, Iowa, in the year 1854. He Sc
cured some work in the offices of the
clerk and county recorder, when not
engaged in the practice of law.
In 1862 he raised a company for the
Twentieth Iowa, and proceeded to the
front While in the service he spent a
portion of the time between Texas and
Mexico and was called upon for con-
sultation in some important matters
upon international law His reports
upon these matters We're especially
mentioned and commended by the sec
rotary of state as showing splendid
knowledge OF international law and for
his efficiency in the work.
After returning from the war he was
appointed by Governor Stone to fill
vacancy on the district bench in his
district, which then comprised num-
Der of counties The remainder of the
term was eighteen months. and that
was the only Office the judge ever held.
He has never been candidate for any
official position or office. He was
chosen a delegate at-large to the ma
tional convention in 1884, when Blaine
was nominated, and was mSmber of
the committee appointed to notify Mr..
Blaine of his nomination. The judge
removed to Cedar Rapids In 1870. and
has resided here continuously since
