GENERAL L.F. HUBBARD DIES SUDDENLY; LEGISLATURE TO ADJOURN FOR FUNERAL | |
| Honored for Gallant Conduct in Civil War - Was Pioneer News- paper Publisher. | |
| General Lucius Frederick Hubbard, for five years governor of Minnesota, died suddenly late Wednesday at the home of his son, Charles F. Hubbard, 5019 First avenue S. About 3 p.m. he complained of not feeling well and went to his room. Death came at 5:40 p.m. The funeral services will take placeat St. Mark's Episcopal church Satur- day at 2:30 p.m. The interment at Lakewood cemetery will be private. General Hubbard observed his seven-ty-seventh birthday anniversary Sun- day Jan 26. Since that day he had not been in his usual good health, but his condition at no time had been con- sidered alarming. Both houses of the Minnesota legis-lature will adjourn, on the day of Gen- eral Hubbard's funeral, a joint resolu- tion to that effect, offered by Repre- sentative Fred Seebach, having been adopted today. This action followed a special message from Governor A. O. Eberhart, calling attention to General Hubbard's death. The governor also directed that the painting of the bat- tle of Corinth in the governor's rooms be draped. The picture shows General Hubbard leading the charge of Minne- sota troops. General Hubbard was one of the mostprominent figures in the development of the state of Minnesota. As editor, miller, railroad builder, legislator and governor he has been a leading citizen of the state since 1857, when he came to Minnesota and established the Red Wing Republican in Red Wing, Good- hue county. His services in the civil war, where he rose from the ranks of a private in the Fifth Minnesota to the rank of a brevet brigadier general, are an important chapter in the state's mil- itary history. | |
