big good natured and square as a die, was also a victim of the Armistice Day tragedy. He was so "alive" so filled with the very essence of life, that it was hard to understand that so small a thing as a bulled in the hands of so treacherous a thing as his slayer, could stop that laughter, could put the light out of his eye. But it is true that Dale is gone. He was born in Michigan on 12 Aug 1890. His parents came west while Dale was a youngster and settled in Centralia. He entered the schools at Centralia and graduated from Centralia High. He, like Warren Grimm, was interested in Athletics and starred in football during his four years in high school. Like Grimm he entered the UW, but when war broke out he was among the first to offer his services. He enlisted 20 Jul 1917, with the 10th Engineers at Seattle. He was sent from there to Fort Lawton and from there to Washington DC. He sailed for France on 10 Sep 1917 on the ship Carpathia. Upon his arrival he was sent to the eastern part of France where the 10th Engineers were doing construction work practically all throughout the war. He was promoted from 1st private to Sergeant. After the Armistice was signed the 10th Engineers were kept in France doing reconstruction until the following Jan when Dale sailed for home on the North Carolina. He received his discharge from Camp Lewis on 26 Feb 1919 and immediately came to Centralia to be with his parents. On 15 Oct he was married in San Diego CA to Miss Jean Rogers of Montevidio MN. With every promise of a happy future this romance was rudely shattered when Dale Hubbard was shot down and his bride of three weeks was left a broken hearted widow.
The character of the man was shown when he asked the doctor what chance he had to live. The doctor answered that he had about one chance in a thousand, there upon Dale answered, "Well, I've always lived a clean life, that isn't such a chance." Upon being told of the lynching of the man who had shot him, just a short time before he passed out, he said, "I am sorry they did that." "The law should have dealt with him." There speaks the brave man and the soldier. What a pity that men of this calibre should fall victims to the assassin's bullet.
