Milton Milo Huber, my great grandfather, was born 9 Dec 1873 in Westford, Martin County, Minnesota.  His parents were Philip Huber and Elizabeth Styer, who had moved from Pennsylvania to Minnesota in the mid 1850's.  Milton was the youngest of their seven children.  The Huber family moved from Martin County to the Winnebago, Faribault County area in the late 1880's.

On July 12, 1899, Milton Huber married Susan Estella Brown.  Milton and Susan had two children:  Philip, born in 1901 and Charlotte, born in 1903.

Charlotte was my grandmother and has a post all to herself.

Philip led a short and fairly interesting life.  He also has a dedicated post.  http://mnkgenealogy.blogspot.com/2012/01/philip-huber-1901-1940.html
