Hubert L. Dickerman, a Yale alumnus of 1903, since which time he has been actively engaged in the practice of law in New Haven, his native city, was born February 6, 1879, and is a son of Amos Dickerman, also a native of New Haven and a representative of one of its oldest families, the American progenitor having come from England in 1628, accompanied by his brother, at which time they took up their abode in Massachusetts. Among both the paternal and maternal ancestors of Hubert L. Dickerman were those who fought for American independence in the Revolutionary war. Amos Dickerman has for the past thirty years been superintendent of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, and is still active in that field of business. He is a Civil war veteran, having served as a private in the Seventh Connecticut Infantry. At the battle of Deep Bottom, on the 17th of August, 1863, he was wounded and as the result of his injury was obliged to leave the army. He has always been a stalwart advocate of the republican party and for two terms he has served as alderman of New Haven, while in 1911 he represented his district in the state senate. In public office he has been as true and loyal to his country as when he followed the stars and stripes on southern battlefields. He married Martha Hunt, a native of Connecticut and a descendant of an old Connecticut family whose ancestral line is traced back to the period of the Revolutionary war, in which some of her family participated. Mrs. Dickerman also survives. By her marriage she became the mother of five children, three of whom are yet living, Hubert L., Eva L. and Maude E. The last named is the wife of Clarence H. Mead, and all are residents of New Haven.

  After attending the public schools Hubert L. Dickerman continued his education in the Hopkins high school and then entered the Yale Law School, from which he was graduated in 1903 with the LL. B. degree. Immediately after his graduation he entered upon the private practice of his profession, in which he has since continued, his course being characterized by steady advancement. He is recognized as a clear thinker and deep reasoner, and his opinions are sound and logical.

  On the 29th of June, 1910, in Brooklyn, New York, Mr. Dickerman was united in marriage to Mrs. Pearl D. Longenecker, a native of New York and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Davison, the latter a representative of the Davison family, long residents of New York.

  Fraternally Mr. Dickerman is connected with the Masons and with the Elks. In politics he is a stalwart republican and is much interested in public and civic affairs. He served for a term as alderman of his city, became assistant clerk of the city court in 1904, serving for seven years, at the end of which time he resigned to enter upon the duties of his present position, that of prosecuting agent for New Haven county. He belongs to the Connecticut Bar Association and has the respect and goodwill of professional colleagues and contemporaries
