Lester Hubbell was a well regarded businessman in the Cotton industry, and unfortunately, in 1911 soon after his move into 415, he died at home, leaving Julia a widow. Julia kept the home and lived there with her daughter and son in law for the next several decades. She took in boarders, including several noteworthy individuals in their own right. A longtime boarder was Edith Wright, who served as the principal of the Hawthorne School, which was located at 1417 Houston Avenue. Another one time boarder was Genevieve Johnson, who served as dean of students of the South End Junior High School and then San Jacinto High School, when the Junior High was converted. The school building lived on as part of the HCC campus. One other notable boarder was Dr. Elva Wright, who was a pioneer in the role of women in the medical profession and in the treatment of tuberculosis.
