Hubbard Cemetery

Hubbard is a small [no longer in existence] town north of the Gila River near Safford, Graham, Arizona. The cemetery is still used by those early residents and their descendants that remain in the general area.
-----
THE CEMETERY

When people started settling Hubbard there was no cemetery, as those that had died were buried in the Pima or Graham Cemetery.

In February of 1902 little Polly Foote passed away and was the first one to be buried in Hubbard. She was the daughter of J. Walter Foote. Polly's grandfather, G. W. Foote, selected the place for his little grand daughter to be buried. In a short time the grandfather passed away and was buried by his granddaughter, Polly Foote.

I will add the list of graves in Hubbard Cemetery to this history. It is very informative and may be of great help to future genealogists in doing research work.

(No grave visible)


NOTE.. Comments by the compiler.

The foregoing map and names were given to Mrs. Enos Howard by William F. Butler Jr. On old map #30 was listed as Fuller child. There is no grave visible now. I've listed it as #70 on map and listed it as daughter of Thomas Edwin Fuller and Mary (Mamie) Hubbard.

#57 given by William Butler as Ina Allen, grave marker says Norma M. Chesley and it is in the Ed Chesley plot. #40 grave marker, Ina Allen and near the Jonathan Alexander Allen plot.

#25 and #26 old map says #26 infant of Ed Harly, I think is a mistake. The Early child died about 1930, and Delia A. Howard, my mother, said, "#25 was a Coombs boy, buried at the head of Dovie Idella Howard, daughter of Joseph Dozier Howard and Mary Susan Foote". I asked Uncle Joseph Howard about this when he visited us and he said, "#25 was his daughter Dovie and #26 was the Combs boy, and he was the son of some friends of his who lived close by and they buried their children close together. Margaret Shelley says the Combs boy was Felton Combs. My personal opinion is that #26 is Combs. Mother and I always put flowers and took care of Dovie Idella Howard's grave when we went to the cemetery and both graves have been there ever since I can remember.
