Hubbs Hotel era and Pecos cattle ventures in early 1900s
John Hubbs and family faced a failed 1907 cattle lease when Fred Snyder and Marcus Snyder leased WT Ranch, leaving Hubbs with 600 head. After loss of property and money by 1911, they built the Hubbs Hotel in Pecos, which burned in 1915. Their son Barney pursued newspaper work as changes roiled local papers including the Reeves County Record and its successors.
