Two Lake Helen boys lost in WWI sinking of the Otranto.
Wade Hubbard, son of John Hubbard and Ludden Baxter, son of Mary Baxter, were serving in WWI on the ship Otranto when it sunk off the coast of Scotland. Though the parents are buried here, both servicemen are buried in Arlington.
As in many small towns, Ludden and Wade were related in a round about way. Ludden’s brother in law and Wade’s sister in law were siblings.
