    Notes 
    • This could be Deborah (Speidel) Ramey HUBLEY, but consider:

      a. The last confirmed child of Richard Logan HUBLEY and Deborah SPEIDEL is b. 1889
      b. The 1899 death notice for Mrs. Richard HUBLEY gives her age as 35 yrs when, by all accounts, Deborah would be about 50 in 1899
      c. Charles W. Hubley is b. 1897

      First, if Charles W. is the s/o Richard & Deborah, why are there no children between 1889 and 1897? Second, there is the problem of that age at death. Some, myself included, have suggested that Charles is the s/o Richard & Hattie as stated in Charles' obit. But if that were true and Deborah dies in 1899, it would mean that Richard had an affair with Deborah's daughter while all three were living under the same roof. I just do not believe that.

      So, for the moment, Charles (see his notes) is carried as the son of yet another wife of Richard Logan HUBLEY. [Bob H]

    Notes 
    • To date, no marriage record has been found for Richard and Hattie; however the 1901 Census lists her as his wife.

      A Mrs. Richard HUBLEY dies in 1899 so it would appear that Richard and Hattie are probably married between 1899 - 1901. However, Charles W. HUBLEY, who is known to be born in 1897, gives his mother as Hattie. Since Harry Gordon HUBLEY gives his DOB as 21 Aug 1900 on his WW I enlistment papers, it would appear that 1900 is probably about right.

      There is a question as to who is the mother of the three infants born to Richard HUBLEY 1906 - 1912 in Lunenburg County. The most likely choices are:

      a. Hattie SPEIDEL, to whom he may or may not have been married; or
      b. Bessie Wentzell, who seems to be living apart from her husband in the 1901 Census; or
      c. Person(s) unknown

      In the Brookside Cemetery records, these three infants are listed only as the children of R. HUBLEY. However, they are buried in the same plot as Richard and Bessie, whom he marries in 1914. But, assuming that we have the correct Bessie Wentzell, she would have been 50 yrs old in 1903, making it unlikely that she is the mother. Further, Hattie is also buried in the same plot with Richard, three infants, and Bessie. So, I believe the correct answer is Hattie which means that she probably dies about 1912. [Bob H]
