Solomon Hubbard, a pioner of Whiteside County, whither he came in 1838, was born July 19, 1804, in Sangersfield, Oneida Co., N.Y. His parents were named Abel and Lila (Andrews) Hubbard, and he was under their care and authority until he reached his majority. In 1825 he went to Sweden, Monroe Co., N.Y., where he was married, Aug. 31, 1826, to Sarepta, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Branch) Stone. He purchased a farm in Sweden Township, which he conducted until his rmoval in 1830, to Ohio. He there bought a farm in the township of York, in Medina County, on which he prosecuted his agricultural interests until 1838. He sold out in the spring of that year, and after settling his family comfortably he started for Illinois on foot. He walked all the way to Whiteside County, where his brother, E. A. Hubbard, had made a claim for him. He put in a crop on the farm of his brother, and in July went back to Ohio. He started for Illinois with his family and household goods, traveling by canal and the lakes to Chicago, where he left his family and walked to Whiteside County. He obtained three yokes of oxen and two wagons, and went back to Chicago for his family. He occupied the claim of his brother until 1845, and meanwhile improved his own, which was located on the northeast quarter of section 18, Lyndon Township. In the year last mentioned he removed to his farm.

Four sons of Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard responded to the call of the Nation in its hour of danger from foes of its own household: Chauncey B., was born July 4, 1827; he enlisted, and was made Sergeant of Co. B, 75th Ill. Regt. Vol. Inf., and was wounded at the battle of Stone River, in December, 1863, receiving a discharge on account of his injury. He afterward raised a volunteer company, which was assigned to the 145th Ill. Regiment, and on its organization as Co. G he was made its Captain. He served through the remainder of the war. He married Elizabeth Morris, and lives in Clark Co., Dak. Orson K. was born May 24, 1843. He enlisted in Co. B, 75th Ill. Vol. Inf., and was killed Oct. 8, 1862, at the battle of Perryville, Ky. He was shot through the heart. William was born Nov. 20, 1838. He lives in Lincoln, Republic Co., Kan. He also enlisted, and was wounded at Stone River. George H. is the occupant of the homestead. He was born Feb. 16, 1845. In 186i, when 16 years of age, he became a soldier 44, in Co. B, 75th Ill., and received a severe gunshot wound at Shiloh, the ball entering his face and coining out at the back of his head. He was discharged, but on recovery he again enlisted to pay the private score he owed the rebels, reasoning that lightning and minie balls seldom strike twice in the same place. He enrolled in the Eighth Ill. Vol. Cav , and served through the war. He was married in 1871 to Eliza Paulins, who died a year later. Mr. Hubbard was again married, April 1875, to Olive L. Adams. Burtie, Maxie and Edna are their children. Elizabeth was born Sept. 20, 1831, and died in 1848 ; Emma A., born Dec. 11, 1836, died in 1848; Darwin, born July 15, 1833, died in 1848. September, October and November of the fatal year, death's messenger took away a number of the hitherto unbroken household. Levi was born June 15, 1829, and is a resident of Mapleton, Iowa.

Mrs. Hubbards father was born Oct 24, 1779, in Massachusetts, and died Sept. 20, 1849, in Ohio. Her mother was born Dec. 20, 1781, also in the Bay State, and died Oct. 22, 1849, in Ohio
