Obituary. e
REV. JOHN NILES HUBBARD, ’39.
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.

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. | ?
