Urban Huber, and industrious and patriotic citizen of Jackson township, Adams county, is one of the first
farmers of that vicinity, and he has pushed steadily forward to success. He is now enjoying his declining
years, surrounded by more than usual comforts, and is a respected citizen.

Mr. Huber was born in Nesselwangen, Uberlingen, Baden, Germany, May 25, 1832, and was the son of Peter and
Josepha (Myers) Huber. His father served in the German army and was a prisoner in France for several years.
He was afterward employed as a driver for an English Missionary for many years, and died during the early
childhood of our subject. The mother came to America in 1848, and died at Kilbourn, Wisconsin, about 1880,
aged nearly sixty years.

Our subject accompanied his mother to America and learned the shoemaker's trade in New York City, where he
remained for about six years, and then went to Wisconsin and located at Sharon, Walworth county, and engaged
at farming and plied his trade. He came to Adams county in 1858, and settled in Jackson township, where he
now resides. He owns two hundred and forty acres and has cleared a farm of one hundred and thirty acres, and
added substantial improvements. He has a shop at his home and works at his trade more or less. He operated
a shop at Kilbourn for several years, but later returned to his farm. He has witnessed the development of that
region and rode on the first train ever run between Sharon and Janesville, Wisconsin. Mr. Huber enlisted in
Company B, Forty-fifth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, in the fall of 1864, and served in the Army of the
Cumberland under General Thomas, and took part in the battle of Nashville. He became a sufferer from chronic
diarrhea, while in the service, from which he has never recovered. He was discharged in July, 1865.

Mr. Huber was married, in 1854, to Margaritta Hoffman, a native of Bayer, Germany. Mrs. Huber died September
9, 1887, leaving eight children, as follows: Minea, now Mrs. Frank Whaley; Frank; Andrew; Edward; Jacob, of
Minocqua, Wisconsin; John; Kate; and Richard. All are residents of Adams county, with the exception of Jacob.
Mr. Huber was married, January 5, 1890, to Mrs. Lizzie Larson, daughter of Evan and Johanna Larson, of Kilbourn.
Mrs. Huber was born in Nies Prestsegjel, Hedemarken, Norway. She came to America in 1868. Her father died in
Norway, and her mother came to America in 1871, and died in Kilbourn in 1889, aged seventy-one ears. Mrs. Huber,
by her previous marriage to Daniel Larson, was the mother of one child, Emil Julius. Mr. and Mrs. Huber are the
parents of once child, a daughter, upon whom they have bestowed the name of Dina. Mr. Huber was reared in the
Catholic faith and his wife is a member of the Lutheran church, and the family attend the Jonesville Congregational
church. He is a member of John Gillespie Post, G. A. R. He has always been a public-spirited man, but not an
aspirant for public office, and in political faith is independent.

Death: 11 NOV 1905 Jackson, Adams, WI
