WOLFEBORO — Elizabeth Stetson Linscott Kane died at her home on Dec. 23 of this year.
She was born on Aug. 11, 1914 in Melrose, Mass. Her parents were Marie Stetson Barrell Linscott and Rolliston Woodbury Linscott, Sr. She graduated from The Choate School and Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y., with an Associates of Art degree. She married Dr. Edward Reed Hubbard of Taunton, Mass. shortly thereafter.
The couple settled in Taunton, where they had two children, Annelisa Hurst Hubbard and Edward Allen Hubbard. She was in the Red Cross Motor Corps during WWII and co-founded The Brick House School, which taught classes from nursery through the third grade and where the phonics method of reading was taught when it was generally unpopular. Dr. Hubbard took over his father's practice for 17 years, serving as a general practitioner. He was affiliated with Morton Hospital where Mrs. Hubbard served for a number of years on the Ladies Auxiliary, until he entered the U.S. Navy, in 1946.
They lived in various locations, settling in the Philadelphia area where Dr. Hubbard studied for and received his American Boards of Surgeons designation. He was affiliated with Presbyterian Hospital, but died before he could practice.
Some years later, Mrs. Hubbard was remarried to Braden Bayard Kane of the Philadelphia area. They lived in various locations in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Florida, until Mr. Kane passed on in 1992. Shortly thereafter, Mrs. Kane moved to Wolfeboro, where she has resided since.
She leaves her daughter, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many other friends and relatives who knew and loved her.
A traditional funeral service will be held at St. Peter's Church in the Great Valley in Malvern, Pa. on Jan. 6 at 11 a.m.
