Biographical Note
Born in Danville, New York, in 1858, Captain John Peter Hubrick came north over the Chilkoot Pass with his wife, Myrtle, looking for gold and soon opened a roadhouse on Hunker Creek in Dawson. He built and operated the Dawson ferry in 1900-01 and later sold it to the Canadian government. Following the gold rush he came to Shushana, Alaska and later opened a drug store in McCarthy. He was a licensed guide in McCarthy and in 1916, started McCarthy's first newspaper, the "Copper Bee."
In 1922 Hubrick took a photography course from Eastman Kodak Co. in Rochester, N.Y. The McCarthy Lodge was once his photographic studio and supply store. His panoramic images, still in demand, documented the growth of the Wrangell Mountains region through the early 1900’s. Hubrick died Jan. 22, 1930 in McCarthy after a long illness, survived by a (second) wife, Emma, and three daughters. Most of his negatives were destroyed in a house fire in 1930. [From McCarthy Lodge website, http://www.mccarthylodge.com/ Accessed 8 Mar 2004; Fairbanks Daily News Miner, Feb. 10, 1930 and the Anchorage Times, Feb. 4, 1930.]
He died 22 Jan 1930
He lived every mans dream, and maybe even some of us women, I know I would of loved every minute of it. The Saddest part is his daughter's lives.
Idore and Clara at ages 12 and 10 are living with their grandparents John & Louise Schwingle, while their mother is in a new marriage having more children and then has another marriage after that with more children.
Idore at age 17 is living with her Uncle Fred Schwingle and by age 22 she is a cook in a hotel in New Lisbon, WI.
Clara marries between 1920 and 1930 census to Henry F Kaplka in Wisconsin.
