Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 10 Aug 1894, p. 2, c. 4
On Friday of last week, August 3rd, the sad news of the death of one of 
Medford’s first and most respected citizens, Mr. F. Hubbard, was announced, 
and much feeling was expressed over the death of one so much esteemed as a 
citizen and business man. Mr. Hubbard was born in East Rochester, N. Y., 
December 13, 1824. He moved from the place of his birth to Orleans county, N. 
Y., when quite young, and when twenty-five years of age he was married to Miss 
Eunice Potter, who died ten years later. By this union there were born two 
daughters, Mrs. Amelia Pollard and Mrs. Hattie Johnson, both now living at 
Rock Island, Illinois. In Chicago in 1864 Mr. Hubbard was again married; his 
second wife being Miss Charlott Otis who is still living. Five children were 
born to him by his second wife, one daughter, now Mrs. Olive H. Slocum, living 
at present in Iowa. The four sons are all living in the Rogue river valley and 
two of them are now engaged in the machine business in Medford. They are 
Fortunatus, Otis A., Alexis, and Asahel C. In the spring of 1883 Mr. Hubbard 
came to Oregon from Iowa and for a little over a year resided in Jacksonville, 
but when Medford was first platted, in 1884, he moved here and has been 
engaged in business until a couple of years ago when he turned his business 
over to two of his sons, Fortunatus and Asahel. He was a member of the Masonic 
and Odd Fellows lodges but did not identify himself with any of the lodges of 
the valley. For a little over a year Mr. Hubbard had been in quite poor health 
but not until about the first of July did he seem to realize the necessity of 
medical attention. His malady was Bright’s disease and heart trouble. The 
funeral was held at the Methodist church last Saturday, Rev. C. H. Hoxie 
officiating. The services were attended by a large concourse of friends which 
told plainly of the great esteem which they had for the deceased. Interment 
was made in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
