"Edwin Hubbard Passes Away"
"Well known Josephine County Young Man Died Suddenly of Appendicitis--Funeral Friday Auspices W.O.W."
"Edwin Hubbard, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Hubbard, and a well-known young man of Josephine county died Wednesday evening at his home at Hubbard's station, a few miles east of this city. Mr. Hubbard's death caused by an acute attack of appendicitis was sudden and unexpected and was a severe blow to his relatives and many friends of this city. He took ill last Saturday afternoon, though neither he nor his wife believed his illness anything more severe than a stomach ailment. As he failed to grow better Dr. Moore was summonod Monday evening. An examination brought the startling fact that the patient was stricken with appendicitis. It was impossible to secure the aid of any other physician of Grants Pass at the time, so Dr. Pickel, of Medford, was summoned and arrived early Tuesday morning. An operation was performed but at too late an hour, as the disease had already poisoned the patient's entire system.
The funeral occurred yesterday (Friday) morning at 10 o'clock from the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard, and was conducted under the auspices of the Woodman of the World, of which the deceased was a member, Rev. J.W. McDougali and Dr. Robt. Leslie officiating. The last sad rites were attended by a host of the friends of Edwin Hubbard. The remains were laid to rest at Odd Fellow's Cemetery.
Edwin Hubbard was born in Iowa 27 years ago, though he has spent the greater part of his life in Grants Pass. He was married five years ago to Miss Etta Clark, of Klamath county, one child, mother and father and a sister, survive him.
For the past year Mr. Hubbard has been proprietor of Hubbard's station on the Grants Pass-Crescent City stage road, between this city and Kerby. He was a man of stirling qualities. Sturdy, sober, industrious; possessed of a kindly disposition he held the esteem of all who came in contact with him. He was a member of Rogue River Camp, W. O. W., which order he joined five years ago, and carried benefits to the amount of $2,000."
