He recieved his primery education in North Guilford, Conn. and his High schooling in Durham, Conn. , he had 2 years of college at Cornell University. At the age of 21, he moved with his parents and brothers and sisters to Boulder, Colorado, where he helped build the home and to cultivate 20 acres of land now within the city limits of Boulder; he planted one of the first black walnuts in Boulder. He studied law in Boulder in 1873 , then in 1879 wasadmitted to the bar, he went to Leadville where he remained 2 or 3 years practicing law, returning then to Boulder.

In May 1882 he came to North Park with the Hiram Butler Colony, along with his brothers Charles and Joseph. They settled in the southwest part of the Park and there laid the foundation for what was known as the Chedsey Brother's ranch. Hubert and his brothers grubbed land by hand, 1000 or more acres and seeded the greater part of it in timothy and clover hay. The 3 brothers homesteaded land and proving up on their land formed a partnership. Charles sold out in later years to Hubert and Joseph who kept their partnership until 1916, when equally dividing land and cattle, dissolved the partnership.

Hubert then moved with his family to what has since been the family home. The summer after the fire the family of 6 lived in one small room, here Mrs. Chedsey cared for her small children and also cooked for the hired men and carpenters. In the fall of 1902 they moved into their present home.
