the enterprise finally proved a financial
success In 1879, he established the
Mankato Milling company, with himself
It's president The mill, one of the larg
est and most importont in southern
Minnesota, he has ever since continued
to operate-the corporate name being
changed first 70 the .IssD. Hubbard &
Co. until 1894, then r. ID. Hubbard
Milling company, until 1897, and then
the Hubbard Milling company since.
This mill was built in 1878, reconstruct
ed in 1879, enlarged in 1903, and its
character changed from the stone sys-
tenn to the roller process. Its present
capacity is 1900 barrels daily and more
than 100000 bushels of wheat pass
through the mill annually.
In 1882, Mr. Hubbard with J. J.
Thompson, established large live stock
business in Custer county, Montana.
About the same time, associated with
Captain I. p. Gere, he established ex-
tensive linseed oil works at Sioux City,
which in 1887 were sold to the linseed
oil trust. In 1892 he purchased the in
terest of S. H. Grannis in the firm of
Grannis & Palmer Elevator company
which in 1897 was reincorporated as

elevators on the line of the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha railway,
chiefly used to buy and store wheat for
the mill
Mr.. Hubbard is one of the ablest
business Ahen in the state and the mag
nifcent plant, which his business capa-
city and his enterprise has built up, has
contributed largely to the prosperity
and growth of Mankato.
Mr.. Hubbard's wife died April 81,
1877, leaving one son Jay Hubbard, born
January 8, 1872, now in business with
his father Mr. Hubbard was again mar
ried October Z, 1873, to Miss Frank
Griffith, step-daughter of the late James
Cannon. They are the parents of two
daughters, Kate and Mary E.
Mr.. Hubbard was for many years
largely interested in the First National
bank, and was for some years it's vice
president, but he disposed of his stock
In the bank at the time that Mr.. Pal
mer withdrew from the mill At the
time of his death he was not interest
ed in any banking institution.
Mr.. Hubbard served on the common
council for one term, and was one of
the best aldermen that the city ever
had. He inaugurated several permanent
improvements, at time when it was
harder to arouse public spirit than it is
now.
Mr.. Hubbard is survived by two sis
ters, and one brother, who reside at
Schenvus, n. Y, the brother is in fail

OF the sisters may come to the funeral.

An wave his hair as an orator, docidin'
nations fate:
Or maybe he'll turn TO music an soothe
US with gentle joy
He could beat the world on a jew's-harp
when he was little boy.
Perhaps he VIII be a painter or a poet

succulent breakfast food
But whether it's speeches or pictures or
the starry paths of song,
We know he has started for something,
cause he's lettin' his hair grow
