Info | Harry Lubers was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on August 5, 1859. He moved to Kansas as a boy and attended public schools in Leavenworth and Salina. In 1880, Lubers came to Colorado where he read law and occasionally prospected. He moved to Prescott, Arizona, continued reading law, and was admitted to the bar in 1886.
Returning to Colorado the following year, Lubers settled in Las Animas and engaged in a law practice. Although initially associated with the Republican Party, Lubers became a Democrat in 1890. In 1900, he was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives, representing Bent County. Known for his interest in irrigation law and his association with various reservoir, canal, and ditch companies, Lubers introduced the Irrigation District Act, which subsequently passed.
After his first term, Lubers returned to Las Animas and pursued legal and agricultural interests. He was elected mayor of Las Animas in 1906 and held that position for two years. In 1908, Lubers was again elected to the General Assembly and for the 1909-1910 biennium was chosen Speaker of the House. Later, in 1917, Lubers was appointed assistant district attorney for Colorado’s Third Judicial District. He subsequently practiced law in Denver, where he died in 1944.
