HUBBARD- Died, at Seiling, Okla., Sept. 6, 1907, Jason Hubbard, son of J.S. Hubbard of Blackwell. The deceased formerly lived in this city and was well and favorably known, having spent many years of his life with his parents in this vicinity. He went to Dewey county last fall to make his home on a farm, but died on the above date as a result of injuries caused by his team running away. The Selling Guide says: "Jason Hubbard was born in Cowley county, Kansas, Sept.11, 1880, and died at his home near Seiling on Sept. 6, 1907, after a few days illness caused by his team running away and throwing him under the wheels. Deceased moved to Oklahoma in 1893, but has only lived in Dewey county since last fall. On Sept. 16, 1902, he was united in marriage to Miss Stella Hodges. This union was blessed with two little babes, a boy and a girl. He was not a member of any church, but his friends testify to his Christian character and cherish the hope that he rested safely in the atonement of Jesus Christ. His cheerful, helpful life, his devotion as a husband and father, his kindness to everybody, will long linger as a fragrant memory in the home which his presence brightened and which death has now darkened. He leaves the wife and two children, four sisters, three brothers, an aged father, and hosts of friends to mourn his untimely death. Funeral services were held in the Friends Tabernacle Saturday and the remains tenderly laid to rest in the Seiling cemetery. To the broken hearted wife, children, father, sisters and brothers who sit in sorrow where his footsteps shall never again find echo, we extend the sympathy of one who loved him as a brother.
