Maurice J. Huber was born on Jan. 17, 1923, in Conde to Leo and Rose (King) Huber. He attended country school, Ash Consolidated, and graduated from Conde High School in 1941. Following graduation, Maurice farmed on the family farm in Clark County.
He was united in marriage with Margery Bonn of Groton. Together they raised three children. The couple moved to Conde in 1978, while Maurice continued to help on the farm and also drive school bus for many years.
Maurice was a great fan of traditional country music, especially anything by Hank Williams Sr. He loved old cars and tractors, coffee with friends and family and his grandchildren. His humility, humor and gentle manner will be greatly missed.
