its most highly honored families. He was
born at Sierraville, Sierra county,

1930, and is survived by his widow, who is still living in Loyalton.
When
Hubert H. Huntley was about four years old the family moved to Loyalton, where he acquired his education in the public
schools. In 1923 he went to work for the
Clover Valley Lumber Company and through his loyal and efficient service
received various promotions until, in April, 1929, he was made yard foreman, in

is a responsible position, but his experience and judgment have enabled him to
direct the yard operations to advantage.

regard on the part of his fellowmen.
