     EDMOND W. HUBBARD, attorney-at-law, of Paducah, was born in
Caldwell county, Kentucky, on a farm, January 29, 1866, and is a son
of James P. and Helen (Nichols) Hubbard, both natives of Caldwell
county, Kentucky.  The paternal grandfather was Butler Hubbard, also
a native of Caldwell county, and his father was a native of
Virginia, while the Nichols family came from North Carolina.
     The father of Edmond W. Hubbard was a farmer, and spent his
life in Caldwell county and was successful in his work.  In 1863 he
enlisted in the Forty-eighth Kentucky Infantry, Union army, and
served until the close of the war.  His death occurred in January,
1901, aged sixty-six years.  The mother still lives and makes her
home on the old homestead, aged about sixty-seven years.  The father
was a Republican, and he and his wife early joined the Methodist
church.  They reared a family of eleven children, and gave them
excellent educations, although they themselves had been denied that
privilege.
     Edmond W. Hubbard was reared upon a farm and attended the
country schools until he was seventeen years of age, when he entered
Princeton (Kentucky) Collegiate Institute, where he spent two years. 
At the age of nineteen years he began teaching country schools in
Caldwell county, and taught and attended schools alternately for
some six or seven years, thus gaining a very liberal education.  He
became deputy postmaster at Princeton in 1892 and held that office
for two years.  In 1893 he was elected city judge of Princeton, and
retained that office for three years.  During the intervening years
he attended the Louisville University of Law, from which he was
graduated April 24, 1896, and, returning to Princeton, practiced his
profession until 1901.  In 1896 he was appointed master commissioner
of Caldwell county, and discharged the duties of that office until
March 1, 1898, when he was appointed deputy United States internal
revenue collector, and in April, 1901, when he was transferred to
the Paducah district, he removed to this city.  May 1, 1903, Mr.
Hubbard resigned the position of United States internal revenue
collector, to again take up the practice of law, which he had
suspended on coming to Paducah in April of 1901.  He opened a law
office in Paducah and thus resumed his profession.
     In December, 1901, he was married to Miss Cora Leibel, of
Paducah, and one child has been born of this marriage, Elizabeth. 
Mr. Hubbard is a Republican in his political opinions.  He has been
a Master Mason since he was twenty-one years of age, and is a very
energetic, enterprising young man.
