FAMILIES D-H: HUBER ~ Earl Frederick Huber
EARL F. "RED" HUBER (1898-1982)
Earl "Red" Huber
Mr. Huber became a part of the Darrtown community, on April 10, 1947, when he purchased Lot 53 and the house that stood on it, at that time. The two-story residence, which has since been razed, was located directly across the street from the Hitching Post tavern. Partial images of the house appear at Property Records/Lot 53.
On August 6, 1949, Earl "Red" Huber bought the Hitching Post tavern, which is located on the southern half of Lot 52. The second floor of the Hitching Post became Earl's living quarters, sometime after he purchased the tavern - which he managed for himself.
In 1949, "Red" Huber purchased Lot 99, located in the southwest corner of the intersection of Schollenbarger Road and Walnut Street, in Darrtown.
In 1983, Earl Huber bought Lot 85 and Lot 93; both located on the East side of Main St.
Earl Huber was a native of Hamilton, Ohio and Huber family records (below) indicate that Earl had six siblings. It seems that the Darrtown version of the Huber line, ended with Red's death, in June 1982, as no records have been found to document any descendants of Earl Frederick Huber.
The Huber family line that leads to Earl Frederick "Red" Huber
begins with Earl's parents - his father, Valentine Huber and his mother, Mary (Bridge) Huber.
The Huber branch of the Darrtown Family Tree
Webmaster note: There is a question regarding how Earl Huber's father spelled his name. There are numerous census reports that show his name spelled as "Valentia."
The following information has have been compiled from Ancestry.com files, newspaper clippings, and anecdotal memories of people who knew Earl F. Huber.
Genealogy records show that Valentia and Mary (Bridge) Huber had seven children - named in the bottom row of the genealogy chart above.
However, the 1900 census (at the right) reports that Mary had eight children. The question of whether Mary had eight or seven children is addressed below (in the section about Darrtown properties once owned by Earl Huber).
Earl Frederick Huber, commonly known by his nickname "Red," is the pioneer of the Huber branch on the Darrtown Family Tree. In other words, he is the first (known) Huber to have lived in Darrtown.
In 1900, John Bridge, a brother to Mary (Bridge) Huber and a brother - in - law to Mary's husband, Valentia Huber, lived with the Hubers (note same house number 527 South Front Street) and he was listed among the household members.
