Mrs. Caroline Boies, widow of Deacon
Manley Hobart, entered into rest on
Tuesday, February 14, 1888. Mrs.
Hobart was the daughter of Captain Rufus
Boies, and was, born March 24, 1822,
upon the farm just southwest of Homer
vlllage now known as the Stillman farm,
In ber youth ahe enjoyed the advantages
of the district school In that district and
of the academy, whose work for good
in this town began three years before ber
birth. In ber home-life and training she
also received that constant influence for
intelligence, integrity, and loyalty to
duty which did more than the schools to
shape her character aright, and prepare
her to fill well her plaoe in life. While
yet young she gave her heart to Christ,
and when sixteen years of age made a
public confession of her faltb, uniting in
1888 with the Congregational church, of
which she remained a faithful and beloved
member for just fifty years, when
she was called to the Church Triumphant
above.
June 22, 1842, she was married to Dea.
Manley Hobart, with whom she lived In
happy wedlock for forty-two years, surviving
him a little more than four years.
Four daughters were born to them, three
of whom, with their husbands and children,
reside in Homer, and the youngest,
Mrs. J. N, Knnpp, has her home In
Syraouse. It was at the residence of
this daughter that Mrs. Hobart was suddenly
stricken down with a most distressing
malady, and after terrible agony
heroically borne, and the utmost efforts
of the skill of physicians and surgeons,
passed away from earth and entered into
tho peace and joy of Heaven. Brief
services were conducted by Rev. E.
Curtis at the house of Mr. Knapp, and
the body of Mrs. Hobart was brought to
Homer for burial in the family lot in
Glenwood cemetery, near her birthplace.
Funeral services were held on Friday
p. in., February 17th, in the home of her
daughter Mrs. Daniels, and in the beautiful
new chapel of the Congregational
church, which was thronged with sorrowing
friends. It seemed to many a
very touching incident that the chapel
so lately completed, and for whose erection
Mrs. Hobart had planned and given
so generously, should never be entered
by her while living, but should be used
with such admirable adaptation to the
purpose for her funeral services. Her
pastor, Rev. Win, A. Robinson, D. D.,
conducted the services, and used very
appropriately as the basis of his address
the Aaronio benediction, Numbers 0:24,
25, 20, referring to tho fact that at his
last interview with the departed on the
day of her death, as he bade her goodby,
he addressed her with the first words
of this benediction,"The Lord bless thee,
and keep thee," when Mrs. Hobart took
up the word and looking full upon him,
said, "The Lord make hie face shine
upon thee, and be gracious unto thee."
In the death of Mrs. Hobart, Homer
loses one whose whole life had been
passed in her midst, and who was most
deeply and intelligently interested in all
that might contribute to the public virtue
and welfare. The church loses from
her earthly communion a member
thoroughly devoted to her good and to
the honor of the Master, self-sacrificing
in her spirit, generous in her gifts, and
exemplary in her life. Her family are
bereaved of an unselfish, loving, and true
mother, grandmother and friend.
Though for years bearing the burdens of
disease and infirmity, and having by inheritance
a nature that touched at times
tho depths of dejection, such was her
christian faith, and such the heroism of
her love, that she was always ready to
forget her own burdens in her all-mastering
desire to be a blessing to others.
Well did her children choose as one of
the scripture lessons to be read at her
funeral the tribute of the.wise man to
the worthy wife and mother, including
the words, "Her children arise up, and
call her blessed; her husband also, and
he praiseth her. Many daughters have
done virtuously, but thou excellost them
all. Favor is deceitful, and beauty is
vain; but a woman that feareth the
Lord, she shall be praised."

Information came from Burhans Genealogy 1660-1893 compiled by Samuel Burhans Jr. for private distribution 1894 at Mio Hudson library, Market St., Poughkeepsie, NY from 1860 Census, Preble page 63. I believe some Hoars assumed the "Hobart" name before it was official. In NY it takes an act of the State to change a name. For at least one year prior to the name change it must be advertised so creditors, etc. will be aware. "In the 54th Session of the NY State Legislature;" Chap. 137. AN ACT authorising certain persons therein named to change their Names. Passed April 16, 1831: "The People of the state of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: " and I will just give the names and places o Ruel Hoar of Sempronius, Cayuga Co., NY o Daniel Hoar of Venice, Cayuga Co., Ny o Gideon Hoar, Joseph Hoar, Samuel Hoar, Chester Hoar, Asa Hoar, Martin Hoar, Amos Hoar, Silvester Hoar, Alpheus Hoar, Johnson Hoar, listed as residing in the town of Homer (not village but that would be included in the town) Cortland Co., NY. The name change automatically included the wives and all children under the age of 21. All names were changed legally to Hobart at that point. And the records were sealed but you can get copies from the Cortland Co. Historical Society. The Cortland Co. Historical Society has a short genealogy of some of the Hoar/Hobart family by Kendall Hobart. His address is 1720 Ryan Dr., Lutz, FL 33549. He has traced the Hoar/Hobart family line. There is also a genealogy by Edgar Hobart of the Hoar- Hobart Family. He has traced the line to abt. 1636 in England and Kendall refers to this as well. There were a group of six brothers, all sons of Lt. Samuel HOAR & wife Doritha Hitchcock, who had been born in Monson, Massachusetts, and later moved to the Homer-Cortland area of New York, who changed their surname to HOBART in April 1831. These were Jacob, Gideon, Samuel Jr., Chester, Asa, and Martin. Another brother, Calvin, who remained in Massachusetts, changed his surname to HOYT at the same time. In about the same period there were a number of other relatives in the Monson-Brimfield area who changed their surname from Hoar. I don't know if any others changed to Hobart, but it is possible. Some in Massachusetts changed the surname to Homer (coincidentally(?) the name of the town in New York where most of the new Hobarts were living. April 16, 1831- Martin Hoar under Chapter 137 allowed to change name to Hobart Hoar/Hobart Gen by Edgar Hobart- The name Hobart in the place of Hoar was selected by several members of the family at Homer, NY for two reasons. About that time, Bishop Hobart, who had been an Episcopal missionary to the penal colony of England at Tasmania was lecturing in the United States. He was such a fine man and so interesting that the Hoars were much impressed by him and his name. Moreover, by taking the name of Hobart they only had to insert the letter 'b' and add the t to the name Hoar, so a majority of the family has adopted the name Hobart. Here and there however, branches of the family have taken the names of Homer, Hoyt or Pierce; and the Mass. branch, of which 3 members have been United States Senators still retain the original name Hoar. There is a tradition in the family that the name of Hoar was first given to the original ancestor from the fact that he was found when a baby wrapped in a shawl on a doorstep in London, England and that the shawl was covered with hoar frost; so the family that adopted him gave him the name Hoar. This story has been handed down from father to son for many generations. Resided in 1900 With his son John.
