George James CHUBB died at an early hour this morn. after an illness that lasted several months. A few weeks ago he recovered so far as to be able to go about, but he left his house too soon and suffered a relapse from which he never recovered. He was 59 years of age. Mr. Chubb's father, Henry CHUBB was a Mayor in 1850, the last man to fill the office by appointment of the Provincial Government. He was son of a Loyalist who came here in 1783. When a mere lad Henry Chubb was apprenticed to Jacob MOTT, the King's Printer, and long before his apprenticship was served Mr. Mott died and Henry Chubb managed the business for the widow. In 1811 he started the 'Courier' and then a stationary business at 'Chubb's Corner'. He took into partnership in 1842 his son, Henry J. CHUBB and Samuel SEEDS. In 1846 the son died and the two partners carried on the business until 1855 when, on Mr. Chubb's death, it passed into the hands of Mr. Seeds and Thomas CHUBB and George James CHUBB. Mr. Seeds retired in 1863 and Messrs. Chubbs continued together when George J. Chubb bought out his brother's interest. The 'Courier' itself ceased to be published in 1865. Thomas Chubb went to live in the United States where he died a year ago. G.J. Chubb continued the printing and stationery business, adding to it an exchange and banking business, which was kept up till the great fire swept away the establishment. Mr. Chubb rebuilt in 1877, but he was a very heavy loser by the fire, both in business and in real estate. After the fire he did not go back to his old work, but carried on an insurance and railway ticket agency. None of the brothers married and the name, so far as the male descendants of the earliest settler is concerned, became extinct by his death. George J. Chubb travelled extensively. He had a fair knowledge of French literature and a good acquaintance with English drama and with the classical literature of England.
