Edward Huber
Edward Huber (September 1, 1837, Dover, Indiana – August 26, 1904, Marion, Ohio) was an American inventor and industrialist.
Huber established his role in the modernization of American agriculture when he invented a “revolving hay rake” (patented in 1863)
that allowed one man to do in three hours what three men could do in a day.
Relocating to Marion, Ohio, Huber patented his hay rake and began a full line of agricultural implements.
Huber's production lines ran only in second to that of Cyrus McCormick, the inventor of the McCormick reaper.
Huber also began to build and market affordable steam tractors, and was the first producer of modern gasoline-powered tractors.
Eventually, Huber entered the heavy construction equipment market by pioneering the use of weighted rollers on his steam engines meeting the needs of modern road leveling and grading.
This company was eventually combine with Bucyrus-based WARCO Industries to form the Huber-WARCO Corporation of America.
Huber-Warco was ultimately taken over by Dresser Industries, which closed the production facilities in Marion.
Huber, a division of Enterprise Fabrications, Inc., then operated out of Iberia, Ohio until 2009 when they were closed after a hostile take over by Louisiana Crane Company.
The Huber brand appears to be being dissolved by Louisiana Crane Company.
Edward Huber is also known for providing seed capital to Henry Barnhart, who was seeking to build a better steam shovel in the 19th century.
Once capitalized and incorporated in 1884, Marion Steam Shovel (later Marion Power Shovel) became the leading producer of shovels and draglines in the United States until cheaper, foreign made products forced the closure of Marion Power Shovel in the 1980s.
Nevertheless, Marion Steam Shovel's contributions can not be overlooked and include their use almost exclusively in digging the Panama Canal, and NASA's launch creepers that helped move the Apollo Rockets into launch position.
Edward Huber died, aged 66, and was interred in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery, Marion, Ohio.

Founded in Marion, Ohio in August, 1884 by Henry Barnhart, Edward Huber and George W. King as the Marion Steam Shovel Company, the company grew through sales and acquisitions throughout the 20th century.
The company changed its name to Marion Power Shovel Company in 1946 to reflect the industry's change from steam power to diesel power.
The company ceased to be an independent entity when it was sold, becoming the Marion division of Dresser Industries in 1977.
In 1992 Dresser spun off the Marion division and certain other assets into a holding company that would eventually become known as Global Industrial Technologies,
Inc. Global put the Marion division up for sale in 1997 and its longtime rival Bucyrus International purchased the division for US$40.1 million.
Bucyrus integrated the Marion division's products into the Bucyrus product line, then closed the Marion, Ohio, facility.
