Obit: Body of George Stubbs Returned to Chillicothe
Services For the Pioneer Will Be Held Saturday Afternoon at 2:30
From C. G. Stubbs Home
Came to Chillicothe In 1866 and Resided on Dickinson Street for 50 Years

Funeral services for George Stubbs, long a well known resident of Chillicothe, will be conducted Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the home of his son, Dr Claude G Stubbs, 1304 Calhoun street. The Rev W H Brengic, pastor of the Baptist Church will officiate and burial will be made in Edgewood cemetery.

Mr Stubbs, who has been ill for the past two months, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs Blanche Rogers in Kansas City, Thursday afternoon at 3:45 o’clock. The body was brought to Chillicothe and taken to the Norman Funeral Home where it will be held until Saturday morning when it will be removed to the Stubbs home on Calhoun street to await the funeral hour.

George Stubbs, the seventh of ten children of Elias and Elizabeth Updegraph Stubbs, is the last surviving member of that family. He was born March 7, 1843 in Shelbyville, Shelby County, Indiana and lived there until 1850, when he, an excited young boy of seven, traveled across the country with his parents in a covered wagon drawn by a team of oxen.

In 1849 Elias Stubbs, behind his ox team, left his home in Indiana and set out across the new and sparsely settled middle west to file a claim on land near Leavenworth, Kansas. After the claim had been filed he returned to Indiana for his family and, traveling in the same crude fashion, the family began a journey to their new Kansas home. As pioneers they encountered many difficulties in
their travels and among those difficulties was the border ruffian warfare, which changed the fate of the Stubbs family and caused them to settle in Iowa instead of Kansas. They established a home in Henry County near Mt Pleasant and George Bush lived there
with his parents until the time of the Civil War in which he served in the fourth Iowa battery, Light artillery.

At the close of the war he returned to Henry County where he was married in 1865 to Miss Evaline Sarah Hales and together they came to Chillicothe for a residence in 1866. For fifty years they lived at 321 Dickinson street, however, they lived in a little cottage located on the site of the new home of his son, Dr E P Stubbs and Mrs Stubbs, 325 Dickinson. The house was torn down many years ago.

Mr Stubbs was by trade a plasterer but he retired from active work several years ago. The only organization with which he affiliated was the GAR. As the son of a Quaker father he worshipped regularly, but he was not a member of a church.

Besides his two sons, Dr Ernest P Stubbs and Dr Claude G Stubbs of this city, he is survived by three other sons: Schuyler M Stubbs, Muskogee, Oklahoma; George W Stubbs of Kansas City, and Frank H Stubbs of Superior, Nebraska; and one daughter, Mrs Blanche E Rogers, to whose home he had gone for a visit February 11, this year, and where his death occurred.
The oldest son, Hugh B Stubbs, died April 17, 1894.

Mr and Mrs Schuyler Stubbs and Mr and Mrs Frank Stubbs have come for the funeral and Mr and Mrs George Stubbs
and Mr and Mrs Ray Rogers will come today and Saturday. Others who are expected to come for the funeral are the
following nieces and nephews: Daniel Stubbs of Lincoln, Nebr; Donald Stubbs, Mrs Bill Creavy and Mrs Frank Gier of Kansas City.
