My Genealogy Hound

George Hubbert, lawyer, of Neosho, Newton Co., Mo. was born October 14, 1844, and is the son of William and Nancy A. (Lee) Hubbert, who were natives of Tennessee and Virginia, respectively. The father came to Barry County in 1839, and was for many years clerk of the county and circuit courts, and closely identified with the interests of that county. George Hubbert was reared and educated in his native county where, after a thorough course of reading and preparation for his chosen profession, he was admitted to the bar in 1868, from which time he was actively engaged in a growing practice until 1873, when he removed to Neosho. Here he has been very successful, and is ranked by his brother attorneys and the people as one of the foremost lawyers of Southwestern Missouri. He is a close student, spares no pains in preparing his cases for trial, and is a very effective speaker. He has successfully managed some of the most celebrated cases in the courts of Newton and adjoining counties, particularly defenses against murder indictments, though he is quite as efficient as a practitioner in civil causes, especially those involving intricate questions of real estate law. Mr. Hubbert was married August 23, 1872, to Miss Mollie Fulbright, of Springfield, Mo., and by her is the father of four children: Guy, Clare, Fred and Grace.
