Meet Ms. Huebner

Lois Hagelberger Huebner was born July 29, 1908, in Anna, Ohio. She graduated in May 1926 from Anna High School before heading to Springfield to attend Wittenberg. Two years later, she penned a note to then Wittenberg President Rees Edgar Tulloss, which read in part:

Dear Sir: In response to your letter as to why I have not continued my studies at Wittenberg, I wish to say that it is not because I do not like the school. I was a music student, and I think there is no better school with better music instructors than Wittenberg’s School of Music. If I ever should go to school again, it will be at Wittenberg’s music school.

Despite leaving Wittenberg, Huebner never left music. She went on to pursue a career as an organist at the Schine Ohio Theater in Sidney, Ohio, while also performing in other venues, including many state fairs and Lions National Conventions. She married Arthur Huebner who was employed by Fulmer Markets for 23 years before his retirement in 1968. Previously, he had been employed by the Kroger Co. and Lagonda Bank. He passed away in 1976. The couple did not have any children.
