Maud Huber

Carpathia First Cabin Passenger

Mrs Maud Huber, née Vandeventer, was born in St Louis, Missouri on 20 May 1870. She was the daughter of Kentucky-born boilermaker Silas C. Vandeventer and the former Margaret Cowell, a native of the Isle of Man. She had a younger brother, Percy.

Around 1904 Miss Vandeventer was married to Swiss-born restaurant steward Albert Huber (b. circa 1851), a widower with a son also named Albert (b. circa 1889). 

Mrs Huber, a resident of 3968 Morgan Street in St Louis, was a first cabin passenger aboard the Carpathia when it rescued the survivors of the Titanic disaster; she was travelling with her widowed mother and her brother Percy on a pleasure trip to Europe and they continued on with their vacation after the survivors had been landed in New York. 

Mrs Huber became a widow when her husband Albert died in October 1914; several years later she was married to cigar-store owner Joseph E. Johnson (b. 1858), a native of Ohio. 

Maud Johnson died in St Louis on 30 April 1951; she was buried in a family plot in Bellefontaine Cemetery.
