Happy Birthday Craig Evan Hubbard
Craig Evan Hubbard, Born July 18, 1969, Trenton, Michigan.
Chubby baby, laughed a lot
Hardly ever cried
Put a joy in all our hearts
Put our cares aside
Little blond boy, big blue eyes
Playing, running, smiling
A little bit afraid of things
Made him more beguiling
Seemed left-handed & unique
Saw a world of different hue
Always asked the reasons why
And when and where and who
High school kid, had lots of fun
Drove his folks insane
Had his share of teen age ills
Came through all the same
Went to school, became a man
Kept his boyish heart
Always searching for the truth
Taking other’s part
So keep your kindness, songs and smile
And keep your dreams on, up, above
You’ll always be our cherished son
You’ll always have our deep strong love.

Orrin Hubbard's Suicide
Orrin Hubbard
Sidney, New York. Orrin Hubbard, about 52, shot himself in Sidney, brother of Mrs. Joseph Dingman of Prattsville...Death Notice December 19, 1900
Orrin Hubbard shot himself at Sidney in New York
I wonder what the pressures were that made him pull the cork
Was it the booze or opium, back then the drugs of choice
That made him do that final act to forever still his voice
Undated is his nephew’s death ’neath runners of a sleigh
I wonder if that accident got to him in some way
We’ll never really know, it’s far beyond our minds to figure
To conjure up that small last straw that made him pull the trigger
So Orrin Hubbard ended all his pain and tears and strife
And Orrin Hubbard took a gun, and then he took his life
I guess man’s minds' the only thing that takes the world unleavened
Then cooks a heaven into hell or a hell into a heaven
