He purched as much as 120 acres in the ohio river valley. Wifes name is unknown. Children were Nicholas Hubacher Jr, Frank, George, William, Lucy, Delia, Katy and my G grandmother Elizabth Hubacher Kirk. These Hubachers would eventually settle in Jo Davies County, Galena Illinois. Nicholas Hubacher Sr was in the Civil War. Company A, 15th Vol. Ill infantry. His son Nicholas Jr was in the Spanish American War Company M 6th regiment. Both are burried at Greenwood Cemetary West Galena Township. Elizabeths husband James Kirk Sr. was killed by a train at age 28 while working for the Northwestern Railroad in Chicago Ill. Nicholas went to Chicago to bring the remains home to Galena and to attend the coroners inquest. Feb. 1904. Three days after the death my Grandfather was born to poor Elizabeth who was so upset by the death of her husband she was thrown into labor. James had a huge funeral in Galena which was attended by friends, family and railroad workers from as far away as Milwuakee and Chicago. Any connections to these Hubachers or ideas about how I can find more information from this county please contact Rachel Downing, gembug@hotmail.com Thankyou. The correct spelling of this surname is HUBACHER but have found it with various spellings due to poor writing skills of previous generations, usually written as it sounds.
