Last Rites For Mrs. Hubbard
Last rites were held Saturday, August 6, at the O'Donnell Funeral Chapel in Mojave 
for Mrs. Mabel Jane Hubbard, 59, of Johannesburg. 
Mrs. Hubbard died on Wednesday morning, August 3, at the San Joaquin hospital 
in Bakersfield. A victim of cancer, she had been in poor health for some time 
preceding her death.	
The Rev. Charles Reeves, former chaplain at the U. S. Naval Ordnance Test 
Station, China Lake, conducted the services. Pall bearers were James Nosser, of 
Johannesburg; Jason Brainerd and Edward Riopel of Ridgecrest; M. M. "Jack" 
Warner, of Inyokern; and Patrick Shields and Roy J. Simi of Lancaster.	.]
Entombment followed Saturday afternoon at the Sunnyside Mausoleum in Long 
Beach.
Mrs. Hubbard is survived by her husband, Paul, and son, Robert, who are 
proprietors of Hubbard Printing and publishers of the Indian Wells Valley 
Independent, a Ridgecrest newspaper; and by a brother and sister, William and 
Esther Shafer, both of Lake Wilson. Minn.
Her sister had arrived from the east two weeks earlier to be with her during her final 
days.
Born in Woodstock, Minn., Mrs. Hubbard had been. a resident of California since 
1926. She had resided in Lancaster for 13 years, while Mr. Hubbard was co pub-
lisher of the Antelope Valley Ledger-Gazette, and had lived in Johannesburg since 
1939.
During those years she was active in the family's printing business. Poor health 
had forced her gradual withdrawal from full-time participation in the business 
operation.
