Maj. Wilson Hubbell, of the Sixty-second Regiment New-York Volunteers, Anderson Zouaves, who was killed by being struck by a shell in the assault on the rebel lines at Cold Harbor, was a native of Bridgeport, Connecticut. At the commencement of the war he entered the Sixty-second New-York Volunteers and was made its senior Captain, and acted as such until the 31st of May, 1861, [1862] when he was made Major. He was with the Army of the Potomac in all the battles in which it has been engaged except those of South Mountain and Antietam, and was prevented by sickness from participating in them. He was a brave and accomplished officer, and possessed the love, respect and confidence of his men to an unusual degree. On the 24th of March, 1864, when the regiment reenlisted, the members of his old company (B) presented him with a very beautiful Sixth Corps badge, accompanied by a letter expressing the great respect and esteem in which he was held by them.

He met a soldier's death while in the extreme front, gallantly leading on his men. He was shot down, and though every possible effort was made to save him by the regimental surgeon, Dr. Francis S. Grimes, the wound was too severe, and he died in a few hours after receiving it.
