Personal Sketch
Michael Hubler, Miami [Township]The subject of our present sketch is the son of Michael and Margaret Hubler, and was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania, Septemer 28, 1795. He moved with his father's family, when a child, to Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. In 1814, he removed with his father to Miami Township, then Jefferson, and settled on Bear Creek, in sight of the farm on which he now resides. At the age of twenty-one, he married Miss Margaret Gephart, daughter of George and Margaret Gephart, of Jefferson Township. He lived near Bear Creek four years. The result of this marriage was six children, three of whom are now living. Mr. Hubler came here when the country was almost a wilderness. The family has been large land-holders. They have a beautuful farm, on which they now reside. Mr. Hubler was formerly a Democrat, but finally joined the Whigs; but a change came over the political spirit of his dream, and he is now a faithful Republican, and expects to die in the faith. He has been a member of the German Reformed Church since childhood. The old gentleman has lived past the Psalmist's allotted time of threescore years and ten, being now in his eightieth year. Two of his sons, George and Andrew, did good service in the late Rebellion, but George, after escaping dangers by flood and field, has surrendered to the invisible hand of death.
