WILLIAM HUBER.
The Union soldiers during the great war between the states
builded more wisely than they knew. Through four years of
suffering and hardships, through the horrors of imprisonment and
the shadow of death, they laid the superstructure of the
greatest temple ever dedicated to human freedom. The world
looked on and called those soldiers sublime, for it was theirs
to reach out the mighty arm of power and strike the chains from
off the slave, to preserve the country from dissolution and to
unfurl to the breeze the only flag that ever made tyrants
tremble. For all their unmeasured deeds, the living
present can never repay them. Pensions and political power
may be thrown at their feet; art and sculpture may preserve upon
canvas and in granite and bronze their unselfish deeds; history
may commit to books, and cold type may give to the future the
tales of their sufferings and triumphs, but to the children of
the generations yet unborn it must remain to accord the full
measure of appreciation and undying remembrance of the immortal
characters carved out by the American soldiers in the dark days
of the early sixties, numbered among whom was William
Huber, who served in Company A, One Hundred and Sixth Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, and who was in active service until the
close of the war, except during two weeks when he was a prisoner
in the hands of the enemy.
William Huber, a highly respected farmer
and citizen of Washington township, Preble county, Ohio, was
born in Cincinnati, Jan. 10, 1846, the son of William and
Sybilla (Bosense) Huber. William Huber, Sr., was born
in Germany and came to the United States at the age of eighteen.
He went directly to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was engaged in
operating a tannery, he being one of the partners in the
business, and spent the rest of his life there. His wife,
Sybilla Bosense, was born in France and came to
the United States, locating in Cincinnati, where she grew to
womanhood and was married. To her union with William
Huber, Sr., nine children were born, those now living being,
William, Jr., the subject of this sketch; Catharine,
the wife of Henry Neideraur; Mary, the
widow of Andrew Schwartz, of Columbus, Ohio;
Charles, of Columbus, Ohio; Henry, of Texas, and
Toney A., also of Columbus, Ohio.
William Huber, Jr., was reared in Cincinnati,
Ohio, and learned the tanner’s trade there. He enlisted in
the Civil War in Company A, One Hundred and Sixth Ohio Volunteer
Infantry, and was out until the close of the war, but was taken
prisoner near the close and held for two weeks. After the
war he came back to Cincinnati and resumed work at his trade.
At Evansville, Indiana, on May 14, 1869, William
Huber was married to Catharine Moser, who
was born in Pennsylvania and was the adopted daughter of a Mr.
Moser. To Mr. and Mrs. Huber were
born fourteen children, nine of whom are living: Edward,
of Newport, Kentucky; Mamie, who lives at home; Walter,
of Eaton, Ohio; Sybilla, the wife of James
Beatty, of Eaton, Ohio; Jeannette, the wife of
Ollie Bailey, of Detroit, Michigan; Carl, of
St. Paul, Minnesota; Anna, the wife of John
Quinn, of Eaton, Ohio; Bessie, the wife of Grover
Dunlap, of Lewisville, Indiana; and Robert, who is at
home. Mr. and Mrs. Huber also reared Clara
Lease, who married Earl Kuntz. Mrs.
Huber died on Sept. 1, 1910.
Mr. Huber is a Republican and has been
active for a long time in the councils of his party. He is
a man of rather wide influence and his counsel is much sought.
Mr. Huber is a member of the Grand Army of the
Republic post at Eaton, Ohio, and of the Methodist Episcopal
church at Cincinnati, Ohio. He is the owner of a fine home
and a farm of one hundred acres.
