Facts and Events
Per Hubbell files, Jul 2000, and KG book - per James A. Robinson: "Martha Ann Hubbell was an artist. Her masterpiece is a farm scene which was painted on a canvass four feet by six feet, a very fine piece of work. I saw it in 1925, while on a visit with my Hubbell relatives in Missouri. It was t hen in the home of John R. Hubbell, but since his death it has been moved to the home of his son, Archie. While on the above named visit I was in the home of Bell Hubbell Roberts and there I saw some very fine modeling of domestic animals, as good or even better than those seen on public exhibition; she too made designs for wallpaper border. These girls grew up in a pioneer family in Northwestern Missouri and had no opportunity to study or learn from the outside world, which makes it all the more remarkable that they were able to paint and model so well."
