Died.? In Preble, Cortland County, N. Y.,
March 5th 1860, after six year's severe suffering
of Dropsey, Dier Hobart, aged 87 years.
Mr. Hobart was born in Brimfield, Hamden
county, Mass., in the year 1773. At the age of
nineteen, he shouldered his knap-sack, with
his clothes and axe, and started for the west.
He landed at Onondaga Hollow in the spring
of that year, and hired for the season to Gen.
Asa Danforth. After his term of service expired
with Mr. Danforth, he returned to his
native place. In the year 1792, in company
with Jesse Butler and two of his brothers, he
returned and settled on Pompey Hill, where he
resided for nineteen years. He then removed
to the town of Tully, where he buried his companion,
she leaving nine children. He subsequently
married a second wife Miss Susan
Shevelain, and settled on the west side of the
Crooked Lake in that town. He united with the
first Presbyterian Church that was organised at
Preble, and was a regular worshiper in that
church for almost thirty years.
The family name was originally HOAR, but
in tho year 1829, it was changed by the legislature
of this State, upon the petition of his
brother Aaron, to Hobart, but some of the relatives
out of the state did not see fit to adopt
the change.
He had been the father of eighteen children,
nine by each wife. Nine are now living, and
eight followed his remains to the grave on the
7th inst. Although he suffered very much
from bodily pain, he bore his affliction with patience
and christian resignation, for he gave
evidence in his last hours that he was like the
shock of corn, fully ripe, ready and fitted for
his Master's use. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Mr. Wakeman, pastor of
the Congregational Church at Lafayette.?
