Born on October 2, 1878, in Zaucmora. Samara. Russia, he is a son of Henry and Louise (Helmuth) Huber. The father was a farmer in the old country and brought his wife and five children to Winnipeg, Canada, in 1898; and in 1900 located in Fresno. In about 1903 he bought a twenty-acre ranch
and set it to orchard and vineyard and still resides there, together with his good wife. Five children born to them are living: lohn Peter, the subject ofthis biography; Chris; Sophia, who is Mrs. Fleming of Biola ; Anna Katherine, who is Mrs. Schneider of Empire ; and Lizzie, at home.
John Peter Huber was reared on the home farm in Russia and educated in the public schools there. Arriving in Winnipeg in 1898, he worked there until coming to Fresno, in 1900, with his parents. Here for the first three years he found employment in the Craycroft brickyards. Then with his
father he bought forty acres of land, or twenty acres each, and set about improving it to a ranch ; he developed his holding to Thompson seedless vineyard and peach orchards and operated it until 1914, when he sold out and bought his present ranch of forty acres on Shields Avenue in the Empire district, and this he has improved from an alfalfa ranch to Thompson seedless vines, twenty-six acres; four acres in apricot orchard, five acres in Malagas, and the balance to alfalfa ; the land is under irrigation ditches and he has also installed a pumping-plant. He erected a modern bungalow residence in 1914. He has made the most of his opportunities in this growing section of the state, and regards California, and Fresno County particularly, as affording the best opportunities for advancement and prosperity.

Huber, who brought his family to Winnipeg and resided there until his death.
