General Notes: Husband - John Huber

---

He was educated in such schools as then existed in Letterkenny Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and reared to farming pursuits on the home place. In 1840 he married, and the same year removed to Chambersburg, where, in company with his brother, he engaged in the hardware business. Thus he continued successfully for many years, and for a time the firm was known as Huber & Tolbert, and later, Mr. Huber conducted the business alone, until retiring in 1881 or 1882. In 1871 he was elected president of the Chambersburg Woolen Company. He was elected assessor of Letterkenny Township in early life and in about 1853 was elected county commissioner. In 1857 he was elected associate judge of Franklin County for a term of five years.

He began life as a young man in the hardware business, in partnership with his brother Solomon Huber, at what was known as the old Berlin store in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Later the Hubers bought the Wolf stock at the southeast corner of Main and Queen streets. When Solomon Huber retired, the firm became Huber & Tolbert, Mr. Huber associating with him in the business his brother-in-law, Robert E. Tolbert. This firm lasted until the burning of Chambersburg in 1864. Mr. Huber was also engaged in the manufacture of edge tools, being one of the partners in the old Lemnos Works, under the name of Huber & Co. This factory was also destroyed by the fire. He was also a partner in the strawboard mill where the woolen mill now stands, the firm being Lambert & Huber. After the fire he began anew in the hardware business, and was interested in the new woolen mill, becoming president of the company. In politics he was a Whig, and later a Republican. He was a county commissioner, 1853-56, and an associate judge, 1856-61.
