A. A. HUBER, who is one of Piqua's most respected retired citizens, enjoying the comforts of his pleasant home at No. 316 North Downing Street, for many years was actively engaged in business at different points in Ohio. He was born in 1841 in the Dominion of Canada and came to Ohio prior to 1861, having received his educational training in his native land.

Mr. Huber lived at Cincinnati for some six months and then entered in-to the grain business at Kirkwood, Ohio, which he continued for eight years, moving from there to Bowling Green, where he embarked in a general mercantile business. From there he went to Toledo and lived in that city until 1900, when he came to Piqua and for eight years carried on business in this city, being a large dealer in coal and builders supplies. For a short time he has considered himself retired, although this must be taken figuratively, as he has only closed out his retail interests, retaining the wholesale features. He has large real estate investments here and much of his time is taken up in supervising the improvement and sale of his property.

Mr. Huber was married in 1874, to Miss Celina Wise, of Lockington, Ohio, and they have one daughter, D. Myrtle, who resides at home. Mr. and Mrs. Huber are members of the Green Street Methodist Episcopal Church. He is one of Piqua's capitalists.
