Biographical Note

In March 1904, Hubby sent out a bulletin announcing that a Hobby Genealogy was being prepared and soliciting information for it. In 1910, his intention for a Hobby Genealogy was announced in New England...Register.

Until such data has been verified it cannot be accepted as authentic, but the letters have been preserved in hope that the statements made therein can be verified at some future date. | |||||||||||
