11-11-1896 Phila Inquirer Despondency and suicide Captain James H. Hubbard Ends his life by a rope James H. Hubbard 52 years old of 3220 N Fifteenth St commited suicide yesterday by hanging himself to a joist in the cellar of his house. Hubbard had been left alone apparently in good spirits at 11 o'clock by his wife and daughter who went to call on a sick friend. When they returned three hours later finding him missing it was thought he had gone to the cellar to smoke but investigation had showed he had ended his life Hubbard was formerly a prosperous sea captain but lost a vessel at sea in February 1894 since which time he had been despondent over business reverses. On Monday evening he was said to have remarked that the only thing for him to do was to drown or hang himself. He had evidently been contemplating the deed and when alone procured a piece of sash from a new dwelling nearby. Nov 13, 1896 Phil Inquirer Hubbard Suddenly on November 10th 1896 Captain James H.
