These are miscellaneous papers of Spencer M. Hubbard, physician and county clerk of Texas County, Missouri.   Included are personal papers as well as items of county business.  There is also the medical account book of Spencer’s father, Dr. John H. Hubbard, 1849-1852, and minutes of the Texas County Medical Association, 1888.

 

John H. Hubbard was a native of Randolph County, Missouri.  After attending schools in Missouri and New York, he began medical practice in Pocahontas, Arkansas.  About 1848, he moved to Texas County, Missouri, where he was one of the first physicians.  His son, Spencer M. Hubbard, was born in Texas County in 1857.  He also trained as a physician, and practiced at Elk Creek and Mountain Grove, before establishing a practice in Cabool, Missouri, in 1884.  He was elected clerk of Texas County, Missouri, in 1886.  He moved to San Gabriel, Texas, about 1893.

 

The collection includes items representing the medical practices of both John H. Hubbard and Spencer M. Hubbard.  Folder 1 contains the medical account book of Dr. John H. Hubbard at Houston, 1849-1852.  Folder 2 contains an undated address to a meeting of physicians in northern Arkansas that probably derives from the period when John H. Hubbard was practicing at Poca­hontas.  The folder also contains minutes of the Texas County Medical Association, of which Spencer M. Hubbard was apparently the secretary, for 1888.  Folder 3 contains quit-claim, sher­iff’s, and warranty deeds for land transactions by Spencer M. Hubbard in partnership with Beaure­gard Ross and Clark Dooley, 1888.  Folder 4 contains miscellaneous items pertaining to Spencer M. Hubbard’s personal business as well as papers associated with his tenure as clerk of Texas County.
