Hubbard Harrison Thomas of Conally St, Sulphur Springs, Hopkins Co TX was age 39, b. 3 Dec 1878. He was a merchant, working for Thomas & Searls on the West side of the Square in Sulphur Springs. Mrs. Virgia Thomas was his nearest relative. He was short, stout with brown eyes, brown hair.


Hubbard is said to have died of influenza and the date of 1918 has been suggested which is confirmed by his death certificate.

Texas Death Certificate #56820
Hub. H. Thomas died in Sulphur Springs, Hopkins Co, TX on 8 Dec 1918. He was said to have been born 1878 in Hopkins County and was age 40. He was a merchant. He died of pneumonia following the flu. His father was Wm. Thomas; his mother Susan Buford. Mrs. H. H. Thomas was the informant. He was buried City Cemetery, Sulphur Springs.

I have often wondered if Hubbard was in some way related to the other Thomas family that married into the Holderness family back in Virginia. The above death certificate and the information from the censuses about his father William, indicates that he does not seem to be. John Haden remembers visiting the son Harold in Wichita Falls, and knew he was related - and he was, but through his mother, Virginia Russell. John and Harold were second cousins.

William Thomas married Susan Jane Buford, 3 Jul 1856, San Augustine Co, TX - they were the parents of Hubbard.
