The clock of Life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. LIVE, LOVE, TOIL with a will. Place on faith in the tomorrow for the clock may then be still.

WASHINGTON TWP. MAN PASSES AWAY
Clarence Huber Residing Near Bowling Green Succumbs Following Illness of Complications.
" HUBER FAMILY FILE, No. 2, "Mostly Clippings," at the Clay County Genealogical Society, Center Point, Indiana" dated July 15, 1919
BOWLING GREEN, Ind., July 14. Clarence Huber, age 31 years, died at his home three miles south of here early yesterday morning of a complication of ailments. About two years ago the deceased contracted a sarcoma on his right hand that made amputation of his right arm necessary and injured his general health to some extent. A short time ago he suffered an attack of pneumonia from which he apparently recovered, but in the meantime leakage of the heart developed and it is said death came with an attack of strangulation. Mr. Huber farmed until he lost his arm, after which he opened a grocery store at Beamer, a flag station on the Monon railroad four miles southeast of here. Later he moved his stock of goods to a location a short distance south of Bellaire school house south of here, and it is said he has been very successful in business. He is survived by the widow, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Huber, three brothers, Fred, Walter and Treet (sic), and a sister, Mrs. Grey Stephens. The widow was Miss Rubey (sic) Stephens, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Stephens, before her marriage. The burial was made in the Mt. Zion Church Cemetery this afternoon.

He is not dead, he is just away.

ELIZA JANE HUBER
"Huber-Frazier Family File, Clay County Genealogical Society, Center Point, Indiana" no dates
The Keeper of the Records of the Book of Life carefully turned through its pages then softly inserted the key to open the door of God's great heart, this time beckoning a wife and mother to come, and near the midnight hour of October 14, 1944, Eliza Jane Huber, second daughter and third child of a family of five children of Ara and Clara A. (Hunsicker) Fraizer, went out to meet this beckoning hand, quietly and silently passing into the Great Beyond leaving us at the age of 74 years and 8 months. She had been in failing health for the past 15 years and on October 4 (was) stricken with pneumonia from which her frail body was unable to recover despite all the tender care and loving hand could do so. She was born February 14, 1870, in Owen County near Jordan Village, Indiana, and when a child she and her parents moved to a farm five miles east of Cloverdale, now known as the Uncle Sammy Neier farm. She spent most of her young girlhood there and at the age of 19 united with the Amity Baptist Church under the pastorate of the Rev. Billy Bowan and remained there a faithful member until 1910 when she moved her membership to the Millgrove Methodist Church where she and her husband could worship together. Here, also, she was a faithful member and attended church services regularly until the frailties of life prevented her from doing so. When the Millgrove Ladies Aid was organized, she became one of the charter members and served in the Aid without complaint in whatever capacity she could do it the most good. She was quiet and reserved but always had a small and pleasant word for all those who came into her home. The writer of this obituary, Pearl McCullough, remembers with pleasure the many times she sat down at her table, partaking of the many good things to eat prepared by her dear hands. On January 15, 1890, she was united in marriage to Daniel Harvey Huber, and to this union four children were born, one of whom, Leslie T., at the age of 2 1/2 years, preceded her in death; also one sister, Mary, and two brothers, one infant and John Fraizer. She is survived by the husband who most of all will miss her and gave her such loving care and devotion during her many years of illness; three children, Alva C., Mary Mae Cassel and Ina A. Evans, all of Quincy, and grandchildren, Daniel E., Maratha Jane and Jo Ann Minnick, Mrs. Velma Lenore Minnick Rollings, Melvin Lee and Enola Jane Cassel, Melba E. Huber and Donna Jean Evans; a daughter-in-law, Mahala Huber; two sons-in-law, Joy Cassel and June Evans; a grandson-in-law, Glen Rollings, and a granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Daniel Minnick; sisters, Mrs. Alice Michael and Mrs. Rena Layne, both of Cloverdale; half brothers, Charles and Lewis Neier of Cloverdale and a host of other relatives and friends who will greatly miss her. She was a devoted wife and mother, and her never-ceasing toil and care helped to make the home of her loved ones to whom she clung with a never-failing love, sharing their joys and sorrows alike. Some of her predominating traits of character as those who knew her best can testify, were her great love for her home, her responsibility as a wife and mother, and her tender love for her children and grandchildren.

He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Nellie Huber; a sister, Mrs. Charles Hale of Indianapolis; four bothers, William L. of Greencastle, Wilber of Cloverdale, Edward of Gosport, and Paul of Wiscasset, Maine and seven grandchildren. Being a man of loving nature and a liking for everybody, he made friends in a wide area around his home community by the service he gave by his ability to carpenter. "To take the dear ones from our home, but though our eyes with tears to dim, The Lord knows why, we'll trust in Him. Oh yes, He knows, the Lord knows why, These things are ordered from on high, and the dark clouds may hide the sun, The Lord knows why, His will be done".

JOHN ANDREW HUBER
"Owen County Democrat" March 20, 1919
John Andrew Huber was born in Union County, Indiana, July 28, 1853, and departed this life March 3, 1919, age 65 years, 7 months and 55 days. He was the eldest son of Daniel and Lydia Huber. At an early age he came with his parents to Clay County where he resided until his death. When 26 years of age, he was united in marriage to Laura E. Beamer and to this union were born two children, James C. and Edna O., the latter having preceded him to the great beyond some 22 years ago. When a young man he was converted and joined the Mt. Zion M. E. church where he continued to hold his membership until he was called to the church triumphant. Of a kind and gentle yet firm disposition with a love for his fellowmen, a desire to see the cause of God advance, and a willingness to help in any way to advance that cause, the church and community has suffered a loss not easily or quickly replaced. Surviving him are his wife, Laura E., one son, James, two brothers, Ira and William, three sisters, Mary Royer of Clay County, Cynthia Wallace of Bowling Green, Elmira Kimmerle of Clear Lake, Montana, and a host of relatives and friends who sympathize with these loved ones in their grief. Monuments of his zeal for Christ can best be seen as we look into the faces of those who were pointed to Christ by this faithful servant. There remaineth a rest for those who love and serve God. Surely Brother Huber has entered that rest. The family wishes to thank the neighbors and friends for the kindness during the sickness and death of their loved one. The burden has been made lighter by the sympathy shown and help extended.

And merry paints the scenes of old In the gold of the twilight glow, The years may wipe out many things But this they banish never - The memory of those happy days When we were all together. .

MARGARET (LUCAS) HUBER

Margaret (Lucas) Huber passed away at her home in Owen County early Tuesday morning, September 3, 1935, just one month to the day after her 97th birthday which was August 3. Margaret Lucas was born on August 3, 1838, on the farm where she will make her last resting place as Carolina Cemetery is a part of the old Lucas homestead. She was the oldest of four children. Uncle John Lucas, who died a few years ago, was her only brother. Her two sisters died when children. Her mother's name was Rebecca Haltom. Margaret Lucas had nine half brothers and sisters. The late Ike Lucas of Spencer was one of them. She was united in marriage to Levi Huber September 23, 1858. To this union were born eight children: Theodore Huber, who died in 1921, Rosa Langdon of Wheatfield, Zara Beaman, deceased, Mary Jane, died in infancy, Flora Carter of Washington, D. C., Ethie Sanderson of Poland and Ella Minor and Jacob at home. She leaves to mourn their loss seventeen grandchildren, twelve great grandchildren and three great great grandchildren. She also mothered two stepchildren, Francis William and Everett Huber from the time they were five and seven years old. Mother was converted at the age of 13 and joined Carolina Baptist Church in the year 1859, and remained a member until death. Mother's chief characteristic was her supreme faith in a loving Heavenly Father. Her faith and trust were as simple as a little child, and she taught her children that the greatest thing in the world was to live, pray to and serve God. Mother's idea of a successful person was not were they famous or had riches or had achieved great honor, but were they ready to meet the test between their Creator and their own souls? Her life is a living monument, her works, her untiring efforts show of the ever present guide, that unfaltering love of a blessed Redeemer who walked with her in life and stood by her in death. We will not grieve for mother, call her back when she can now hear and see and walk, and be with her "loved ones long lost awhile." No, a thousand times no, but may her life be an inspiration to us who are left behind. The Children

SAMUEL E. HUBER PASSES AWAY
"Huber Family File, Packet No. 2, Clay County Genealogical Society, Center Point, Indiana"no date
Paralysis Proves Fatal to Officer Known by What He Had Done
Probably no news of a death in Tuscola ever caused more sincere regret than was shown on last Friday evening when it was made known that Sam Huber has passed away. It had been known that he was seriously ill--that he had very little chance of recovery, but his friends here--about everybody in Tuscola and the adjacent territory--were hoping that he might "make it" and once more be about the streets. Possibly not as he had been before, but around once more. Several weeks ago Sam woke up one morning and found that he did not have the customary use of one side of his body. The explanation was simple. He had had a slight stroke of paralysis while he was sleeping. At once he was given expert medical attention and for a few days he seemed to improve. Then came another stroke and after it another. From then on, his was a hopeless case, but his physician and his family continued to do all they could. They knew the fight was against odds that could never be overcome but never gave up hope till he breathed his last. Probably no one in Tuscola in private life or that of an officer has ever been more in the public eye than Sam Huber. Naturally a hard worker and one who just naturally went about the business in hand, he never talked much about what he was doing or what he had accomplished, but at that he did things that just seemed to attract attention. Apparently fearless, he went where others hung back and, in quest of people who had violated the law, never seemed to have any trouble though criminals, as afterward proven, possessed guns as powerful as any he carried. A friend of his who once accompanied him on a hunt for holdup men tells of him having started out from home without anything but his star. He said that that was enough. It is known that he never shot a man, though he made many arrests, some of deep rate characters. Sam was a friend to everybody. Often in his official career as a special deputy sheriff and also as marshal of Tuscola, he met people that were down and out--hungry. They never went away unfed. The writer has seen this happen a number of times. For a number of years he was city marshal here and his work was good. He had an uncanny way of appearing on the scene when someone was not doing what they should and no one could tell just where he would turn up. Weather did not seem to make any difference with him. He was found at all parts of the business district, no matter whether there was rain or snow. Generally, he did the finding, however, as he seemed to have a way of getting about without being seen. Moving here at the time C. G. Stovall was sheriff, he was given a position as special deputy sheriff and from then on till the time of his death, he had that honor. Apparently little interested in cases he followed them with doggedness comparative with that of stories of famous detectives and often brought criminals to the courts after most people had forgotten the offenses. Tracking down major law breakers was his hobby and he never quit. Although an officer, Sam never wanted to push anything that was not necessary and there are many in Tuscola and surrounding country who will acknowledge that they only escaped arrest by a promise to be good and sin no more. Funeral services for Mr. Huber were held Sunday afternoon at the Southside Christian Church conducted by Rev. C. O. Dotson, a personal friend of the deceased, who had known him for many years and who paid a touching tribute to his manliness...
The following obituary was read at the funeral service at the church: Samuel E. Huber, son of William H. and Mary Huber, was born in Patricksburg, Indiana, March 23, 1864, and passed away at his home in this city October 12, 1928, aged 64 years, 6 months and 19 days. On March 14, 1888, he was united in marriage to Mary Belle Nichols. To this union 12 children were born; three having preceded their father: Melvin, Orville and one son in infancy. The children who are left with their mother to mourn this departure are: Ray of Chicago; Renos, Earl, Harold and Kenneth of this city; Mrs. Bender of Oxford, Indiana; Mrs. Nora Scott of Decatur; Mrs. Edna Blomquist of Tuscola and Miss Inez Huber, also of this city; besides two brothers, William Huber, Murdock, John Huber of Indianapolis and one sister, Mrs. Vera Foster, also of Indianapolis. In 1897, Mr. Huber moved from Indiana to this vicinity settling in Murdock. By trade, he was a plasterer, but in Murdock he became associated with the Morgan Bros. and for eleven years worked with them in their general store and elevator business. In 1918 (difficult to read, could be 1913), he came to this city with his family taking up the work as turnkey and special deputy under Sheriff C. G. Stovall. Having proved himself magistrate, he was later put on police duty having served over nine years in this capacity. He again proved himself a fair officer and public servant. He was absolutely fearless and in the discharge of his duty yet never exerted his authority unnecessarily. For this he was beloved by all. He was a friend to all and all were his friends... In February 1888 he with his good wife united with the church under the ministry of Rev. Brandenburg who was then conducting evangelistic services. Conditions were not always such that he could attend the work and service of the church in the latter years as often as he wished, yet his heart was in the work and his faith was in the Christ whom he had confessed before men. He knew the secret of the Holy Spirit and how He works in those who have submitted themselves to the Father through Jesus Christ... He was a member of the Modern Woodmen of American and Independent Order of Odd Fellows and these two orders join with a host of friends, the church and the community in extending to the bereaved family their heartfelt sympathy in this, their hour of sorrow...

William Francis, the subject of this sketch, being the eldest son, his brother Everett of Wheatfield, Ind., Theodore of Terre Haute and Jacob of Jordan Village, the sisters, Mrs. H. F. Langdon Wheatfield, Mrs. W. A. Minor of Wheatfield, Mrs. James Carter of Momaine (sic), Ill., and Mrs. Walter Sanderson with the mother, Mrs. Levi Huber of Jordan to survive and mourn his loss. His father, mother and two sisters, namely Mrs. R. A. Beaman, late of Spencer, and Mary Jane, who died in infancy, have all gone on before and were waiting to welcome him home at the close of the day. Francis William Huber was a peace-loving citizen, a good neighbor, a faithful and zealous Christian, a loving and indulgent husband and father. His prayer and labors were for his church, his home and his patience, his faith in God was firm. The poet described his faith in the following verse... His afflictions were severe but (he) bore them with Christian fortitude until near the middle of the night of the 23rd (sic) of July he harkened to the cry, "Behold the bridegroom cometh, Go ye out to meet him." He leaves us his widowed companion, six children, 22 grandchildren, two great grandchildren, brothers and sisters and a host of friends to mourn our lost.
