Biography of Wellington Hubbard Hollister, pages 652/653. History of DeKalb County, Indiana, B. F. Bowen & Company, Inc., Indianapolis, 1914. Wellington Hubbard Hollister Among the well known and public spirited citizens of Waterloo, Indiana, is Wellington Hubbard Hollister, who was born on December 28, 1849, in Lucas county, Ohio, the son of Horace and Susan (Hubbard) Hollister. In 1857 the family moved to near Ligonier, Noble county, Indiana, and there the subject received his public school education. In his youth he applied himself to learning the cabinet makers trade at Ligonier, and in 1869 went to Baltimore, Maryland, where he was for awhile employed at his trade. While living at Ligonier he had been a prominent member of the brass band and his comrades wrote to him at Baltimore, urging him to return and offering to pay his transportation home. However, he did not wait for them to pay his way, as he was somewhat homesick and anxious to return, and he was soon again among his former companions. Remaining at Ligonier until 1874, Mr. Hollister went to Angola, where he had been employed in a jewelry store and had started to learn the trade, which he completed after his removal to Butler. He was there in the employ of L.J. Diehl jeweler, until 1890, when he went to Goshen and again employed himself at cabinet-making, and afterwards was employed in a buggy factory. In 1893 he went to Pullman, Illinois, and for a few months was employed in the street car department of the Pullman Company, but a few days before the big strike there he returned to Goshen. Here he was employed in the Kelly Foundry as cupola tender, and eventually became a pattern maker, working here until 1903, when he went to Detroit and was employed on the woodwork on automobiles until 1909, when he came to Waterloo, has here since resided. He is now devoting his attention to agricultural pursuits, in which he is meeting with gratifying success. In 1879 Mr. Hollister married Ella Abbey, the daughter of Giles T. Abbey, who is referred to elsewhere at length in this work. To this union have been born four children, all daughters, namely: Erma, who married Carl Wolfe, by whom there was one son, Russell.
