Posted on: Wood Co WI Obits Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/WoodObits/460 Surname: BREENE, BURROUGHS, HERRICK, HUBER, THOMPSON ------------------------- Peter HUBER Obit printed in the Adams County Press, Saturday Oct 19, 1907, Page 1, apparently copied from the Nekoosa Times Peter HUBER, an old resident of Nekoosa, died at Berthoud, CO, last Tuesday, this sad information having been received here yesterday afternoon in a telegram from Mrs C P THOMPSON of Berthoud, to H E HERRICK, of this city. The message was dated October 8, but did not reach here until the afternoon of the following day, having been delayed in transmission, probably because of the telegrapher's strike. The message stated that the remains would be shipped from Berthoud on Wednesday. About a year ago, Mr HUBER was taken down with an attack of bronchitis which developed into pneumonia from which he partially recovered. On Feb 5 he left for CO, accompanied by his brother, Albert HUBER, to seek health in that climate, but his lungs had been affected beyond recovery and discouraging reports concerning his condition prompted Mrs HUBER to go out to see her suffering husband. Leaving the store in charge of Miss Mabel BURROUGHS and the home and children in the care of Mr HUBER's sister, Miss Emma HUBER, Mrs HUBER left July 10th and remained with her husband up to the time of his death. The late Peter HUBER came to Nekoosa in the fall of 1893, soon after his marriage to Miss Mary BREENE at Adams Center, following his trade as mason to a certain extent. In the spring of 1894 he put up a little building on the site of the present HUBER Cash Store, his first stock of goods being confectionary. As he prospered he enlarged his building and added new lines to his stock. Deceased leaves a widow and four children--Leo, Lizzie, Mark and Lawrence. He was a member of the Independent Order of Forrester's and the Equitable Fraternal Union, in which he carried life insurance policies of $1,000 each. It is not definitely known whether interment will be made here or at Marshfield, but it is probable that the funeral will be held here on Saturday or Sunday morning.
