Carl Hubert was born August 21, 1913 to Louis & Cora (Hardy) Hubert in Evart, MI. At the age of three, Carl moved with his family to Hecla. Shortly after the move, Carl's mother began raising Carl and his five siblings on her own. Carl received his schooling at Hecla, but at the age of thirteen the family found themselves in the midst of the Great Depression and Carl began working any available job to support his mother and his siblings.
On January 16, 1934, Carl joined the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps Camp) near Rapid City.
Carl married Marie Lucille Mentzer August 21, 1940 in Webster - the day of Carl's 27 birthday.
They began their life together in the Hecla area, farming and raising sheep. When the children were young, the family moved to the Mentzer family farm near Hecla where Carl and Marie lived until 1996.
While raising his family and farming, Carl also drove a school bus for the Hecla School District from 1958-1968.
Carl served as a deacon at the Britton Assembly of God church for several years and later attended the Houghton Ministerial Alliance Church.
Carl was a lover of nature, tending to his rose bushes and mowing the yard on his John Deere lawnmower. He was a handy man who could fix anything - or at least "tinker" with it. Carl's dry sense of humor will be most remembered by his family and friends. Carl and Marie enjoyed traveling and were fortunate enough to travel throughout the United States.
In 1996, Carl and Marie moved to Coweta, Oklahoma to be closer to their daughter and son-in-law Chester and Darlys Woodward.
