HIS MILITARY CAREER WAS SHORT AND COLORFUL
He was Captain of Company I, the 90 day soldiers from Marshall sent to Washington
at the very start of the war.
His regiment was the first from the West to arrive, and his men camped at Arlington,
now the National cemetery.
He led Co. I into battle at Bull Run, the first battle of the War.
The Marshall Historical Society owns an engraved pistol presented to Captain DeVille
when he returned home with his men.

HUBBARD, Deville & MOORE, Alice DeLea, May 3, 1865

How the Bank was Saved
SIR—The obituary of our lamented friend Hubbard, as published in your last issue,
leads the public to infer but that for his personal efforts the First National bank of
this city would have been seriously crippled, if not wholly disabled, in the general
panic of 1873.
Under the impression that you did not get your information directly from Mr. Hubbard,
or from anyone familiar with the facts, I take occasion to say that the circumstances
were probably much less alarming than you have been led to believe.
On the failure of the banking house of Jay Cook & Co., at New York, in the year above mentioned,
something of a scare passed over the country concerning the safety of national banks.
The alarm was general and obliged a few institutions to protect themselves temporarily by
paying depositors moderate installments only, taking time to gather in their outstanding assets.
None proved unsound, however, according to my recollections, or unable to continue business as
usual after the flurry of a few days was over.
This bank had a large balance to its credit in New York, Detroit and Chicago, and its usual
amount of cash in bank.
On the first symptom of uneasiness on the part of depositors, money was ordered from the
points above named, but before the arrival of any considerable amount the need of it had passed.
The bank was fully prepared for the emergency and paid every depositor in full who called
for his money.
There was no occasion for Mr. Hubbard “to appear with an armful of mortgages and other
securities” to offer depositors, nor did he ever tell me of having done so.
That he would have done it in case of need there should be no doubt.
I valued Mr. Hubbard very highly as a business associate, and greatly deplore his untimely death. Next to myself he was the largest shareholder in the organization, and was an able director from the first. It has been a matter of pride to us both that the institution has always been independent in its circumstances, has never borrowed of other banks or had a piece of paper discounted during its existence of nearly twenty years.
Respectfully,
Chas. T. Gorham, Pres.
Resolution passed Jan. 3, 1885, by Marshall grange No. 83:
WEREAS, On the death of a member of the grange it is customary to give expression to sentiments of
respect, sorrow and sympathy by resolutions: therefore,
Resolved. By the officers and members of Marshall grange No. 83, regularly assembled, that as a
tribute of repect for our departed brother, Deville Hubbard, and in honor of his having been our
first worthy master, we cause the master’s gavel to be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days.
Resolved. That the earnest, heartfelt sympathy of this grange be extended to the bereaved family
in this their time of trial and affliction.
Resolved. That these resolutions be spread upon the records of this grange and copies furnished
the city papers and Grange Visitor, also a copy be sent to the family of the deceased, under the
seal of the grange.
