and the Greenwich Academy. The legal
profession had attracted him from youth,
and with the purpose of making that his
career he began the study of law under
the preceptorship of Evarts, Southmayd
& Choate, noted New York lawyers and
friends of his father. In 1875 Mr. Hubbard
was graduated from the University
of the City of New York with the degree
of LL. B. and in the same year was ad-
mitted to practice there and also in the
State of Connecticut. His practice has
been in Greenwich and he has made a
specialty of probate cases, care of estates,
real estate law, and a good deal of convey-
ancing.
For many years Judge Hubbard has
been one of the foremost citizens of
Greenwich. Upright in his dealings, he
has commanded the respect of his fellowcitizens.
His political affiliations are with
the Republican party ; although not desirous
of holding office. Judge Hubbard
never shirks a public duty, and any movement
for the general welfare can count
upon his loyal support. He was appointed
deputy judge of the Borough Court of
Greenwich.
Judge Hubbard has found time outside
of his business cares to indulge in his
talent for writing. His library at home
and collection of curios is typical of his
tastes. His writing is entertaining and
instructive. He has contributed many
articles to newspapers over the pen name,
Ezekiel Lemondale. Many who are famil-
iar with his articles feel that his literary
work should be embodied in a more enduring
form. He is a fluent, graceful
writer, possesses a keen sense of humor
and has a splendid sense of proportion.
He will always be remembered for his one
published volume "Other Days in Green-
wich," which, while disclaiming to be a
history, splendidly supplements the work
of other historians by relating interesting
