Hubbard Trowbridge emigrated with his older brothers John and Levi to Southfield, Mich., where he operated a nursery in connection with the farm which he cleared up. About 1851 he left his farm and became identified with the business interests of his brother Levi in Detroit, under the firm name of Levi Trowbridge & Co. Their brother John joined with them in 1852, the firm becoming Trowbridge & Co., and they engaged in the lumber business, later extending their operations to the pine lands near the present city of Alpena, Mich. A few years later their brother Smith joined with them, and, under the firm name of John Trowbridge & Bros., they operated a lumber yard in Detroit and the sawmills at Alpena. The firm continued until 1869, when it was dissolved on the death of Mr. Hubbard Trowbridge.
