Rey, John Niles Hubbard died at his home in Tracy, California, on October 17th. His grandfather, Robert Hub- bard, was a minister and a graduate of Yale in the Class of 1769. His father, Rev. Robert Hubbard, was a mis- sionary of note in Western New York. John Niles Hubbard was born in Angelica, N. Y., August 27, 1815, and was 82 years old at the time of his death. He graduated from Yale Col- lege with the Class of Thirty- Nine. The following two years he had charge of Dansville Academy, New York. After studying at the Auburn Theologi- cal Seminary, he was licensed to preach in 1841. For a quarter of a century he labored successfully in the churches of Hannibal, Dansville, Osseau and Burns, towns of Western New York. In 1867, he went to California, and built up a church in Waterloo. He con- tinued his work of organizing churches at Linden,. Farmington, Wheatland, Modesto and Merced. He came to Tracy in 1874, and built a church, and one.at Grayson, to which he continued to minister until failing health com- pelled him to give up his work. He was married to Miss Margaret McDougal, in Hannibal, No &; Feb- ruary 18, 1848, who still survives him. Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard were the parents of five children, only one of whom 1s now living. Mr. Hubbard was untiver- sally loved and respected on account of his noble spirit and devout Christian character. The Family’s Point of View. See. Ge Ge F you are thirty-five years old and are in good health, and are earning $100 a month, your life, on which this earning depends, is worth $22,700 in cash to-day to your family. If you die they lose the $100 a month, the equivalent of which is the $22,700. The cash value of your life to them is therefore $22,700. They lose that if you die. | You have made your family dependent on you: dependent on that $100 a | month, You have put them at the risk of losing i by losing you. If you had a piece of property which was bringing you in $100 a month and it stood a chance of being destroyed and so cutting off your income, you would not rest until you had taken enough of that $100 a month and ‘nsured yourself against the loss of it. You would consider that you had not done your duty by yourself until you had so protected yourself effectually. Your life is just such a piece of property to your family: you have made itso. They need just that same effectual protection against its loss which may come any day. And they cannot protect themselves. They rely on you for that as much as they do for the $100 a month itself. They need protection against that loss even more than you need protection against the loss of your property. But they cannot have it unless you give it to them. You have exposed them to the loss: you have made them dependent on you: you alone can protect them in their dependence. THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Makes its plans from the family’s point of view: to give them the most absolute protection, at the least cost to you and with perfect equity to both. It will be glad to serve you and your family in this great matter. JACOB L. GREENE, President. JOHN M. TAYLOR, Vice-President. HON, J. D. PLUNKETT, “74 L. S. Hen «joseph _D....Plunkett., died on Monday morning, December 6th, at his home, on University place, New Haven, of peritonitis. Mr. was a prominent pension lawyer, a leader in work of the Democratic party and well known in musical and frater- nal circles. He was born in Ireland in 1842, and came to this country at an early age, his parents settling in Nor- wich. He served during most of the Civil War in the Twenty-First Con- necticut Regiment, attaining the rank of lieutenant. At the close of the war he went on the stage, where he was very successful. During his stage career he supported Booth and Kean. In 1866, he married Miss Parmelia McNulty, and leaving the stage acted as agent for a New York publishing company. In 1872, Mr. Plunkett entered the Law School, from which he graduated two years later with honors. Ever since that time he has practiced law with increasing success. He has served as Prosecuting Attorney for New Haven; as State Senator, and as a member of the State Board of Education. Mr. Plunkett was one of the Trustees of St. Mary’s Church and for many years its choir- master. He is survived by three chil- dren. The following resolutions in regard to the death of Mr. Plunkett were drawn up by a Committee from the New Haven County Bar: WHEREAS, death has removed from our midst an upright, faithful, and con- scientious member of our bar, the Honorable Joseph D. Plunkett. Resolved, That in the decease of the Honorable Joseph D. Plunkett, our fraternity has lost one of its worthy members; that in him we all recog- nized a personal character of the highest order; and that his sudden decease 1s to us another reminder that death respects neither age, person nor condi- tion. Resolved, That we sympathize with his family and relatives in this great be- reavement, and that a committee from this bar attend his funeral. Resolved, That these Resolutions be entered upon the records of this court, and a copy sent to the family of the deceased. | ? Timothy J. Fox, Cornelius T. Driscoll. Committee.
