In 1844, R. B. Hubbard was elected councilman, City of Sandusky, Erie Co. [p. 299]. In 1848, Rollin M. Hubbard was a Trustee of old Portland township (eventually absorbed by Sandusky) [p. 391]. In 1849, he was councilman first ward, City of Sandusky [p. 304]. Noted, with others, as being engaged in wood working and lumber enterprises in City of Sandusky [p.308]. On petition of R. B. Hubbard and others, Latin and Greek were introduced in the public high school in 1860 [p. 340].---per FTM CD #450 County and Family Histories: Ohio, 1780-1970, Disk 2, Erie County, City of Sandusky Wood Working Establishments.---R. B. Hubbard & Son. This planing-mill, run in connection with Tucker & Daniels's lumbermills at Algonac, Mich., was established in 1840 by Hubbard & Co. In 1844 Mr. Hubbard associated with Mr. G. S. Lester and purchased timber lands in Michigan and erected a saw-mill. Watson and Langden Hubbard became interested later on, but in 1874 the planing-mill at the corner of Water and Lawrence streets, which is the object most directly of this sketch, was, with the lumber interests in Sandusky, purchased by the present firm. The building, which is sixty by one hundredfeet, two stories high and of stone, is occupied partly by the Woolsey Wheel Company, but belongs to the firm whose name leads this sketch. A powerful engine, made by Barney & Kilby, and a large boiler made by the predecessor of the present Portland Boiler Company, furnish the power for both establishments. R. B. Hubbard & Son plane and match flooring, siding and lumber, and saw posts, etc. Last year's [prob. 1888] work amounted, in round numbers, to nearly two million feet of planed lumber, of which 750,000 feet were flooring, 100,000 feet matched siding, and 1,200,000 feet general planed lumber. This business has been in operation for about thirty-five years, and the present building was erected over twenty years ago. The firm does a general retail and wholesale trade over a considerable portion of Ohio, but the bulk of the business is with local builders and those in adjoining counties. A large force of men is constantly employed. The business is conducted by the proprietors, with William Marshall as accountant and salesman at the office.---per Family Tree Maker CD #450 County and Family Histories: Ohio, 1780-1970, Disk 2, Erie County, City of Sandusty [from Aldrich, Lewis C., 1889, History of Erie County: D.
