After earning a Masters of Arts degree in 1866, again at Wesleyan,[2] he returned to Wheeling and commenced the practice of law in 1866.[1] He married Ann E. Chamberlin of Louisiana in 1868.[2]
Hubbard's candidacy for election in 1890 to the Fifty-second Congress was also unsuccessful. From 1901 to 1903 he served as chairman of the commission to revise the tax laws of West Virginia. He was elected in 1906 from West Virginia's 1st District[3] as a Republican to the Sixtieth and Sixty-first Congresses (March 4, 1907 – March 3, 1911).
He declined renomination in 1910 and returned to his law practice in Wheeling. There he died at the age of 77, and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Wheeling.[1]
