Dear Listers, Wasn't there a wholesale store in Louisville in the 1940's and 1950's called Huber and Herrick? I seem to recall that my first grade teacher (1938) was a Miss (probably Mrs.) Herrick of that store's family, who was a young and pretty redhead.

Tom and list, I checked "The Encyclopedia of Louisville" and could not find any mention of a "Huber and Herrick" store. However, I did find a wealth of information on the HUBER family: "JOE HUBER FAMILY FARM AND RESTAURANT, HUBER ORCHARD AND WINERY. Home to seven generations of Hubers since 1843, the Joe Huber Family Farm and Restaurant in Starlight, Indiana, has become a favorite country-style restaurant and working farm open to visitors year-round. Simon Huber migrated from Baden-Baden, Germany, in 1843, bringing apple trees to plan at his new home in Starlight. A member of the fourth generation, Joseph Huber Sr., and his wife, Mary, bought the land now known as the Joe Huber Family Farm in 1926. They and their family of eleven children grew fruits and vegetables and raised cattle and chickens. Joe Huber Jr. continued to help on the farm as an adult but also worked for the Indiana Gas Co. Following Joseph Senior's death in 1967, Joe Junior and his wife, Bonnie, purchased the farm and moved there with their five children. Joe Junior left the gas company to farm full-time, supplementing his income by driving a school bus. The same year they acquired the farm, the younger Hubers invited the public to pick their own green beans and began opening the farm to visitors. They soon constructed a farm market to sell the pickers the vegetables they gathered. In 1983 they added the country-style restaurant. The farm offers guided tractor and wagon rides and is well known for its seasonal offerings of pumpkins and Christmas trees. The nearby Huber Winery is Indiana's largest estate-bottle winery, with its own farm market, cheese factory, petting zoo, wine tastings and vineyard tours. The winery was established in the early 1970s by Gerald and Carl Huber, who were also descendants of Simon Huber. Gerald's son, Ted, succeeded him as the winemaker and operator of the winery." author, Mary Margaret Bell Hope this helps someone.

I also have that Encyclopedia of Louisville and have read the article about Hubers. It is well written and interesting. >Simon Huber migrated from Baden- Baden Germany, in 1843, bringing apple trees to plant at his new home in Starlight.< For anyone interested in Hubers I have documented records which prove Simon, and family emigrated from the Village of Waltersweier, Baden on 11 Sept. 1830; arrived at the Port of New Orleans on 6 Dec,. 1830 and settled in KY. In 1839 the deed concerning the Starlight IN land reads " Simon Huber of Jefferson Co. KY" purchased 160 acres of land in Clark Co,. IN for $2000. The Hubers in the article are descendants of Simon's 4th son Ignatius Huber born 1825, who inherited part of that land. My great grandfather was Simon's 2nd son Joseph Huber born 1822. Simon's youngest son Dr. Matthew Huber, born 1829 has several descendants in the Louisville area. Elisabeth W. Salyer in VA Elisabeth W. Salyer elws@mounet.com
