      Re: Mary Ann PRESTON m Lester HOBART, son; JOSEPH HOBART, b Chautauqua Co to MI
      DeeDavidson97 Posted: 11 Oct 2003 5:51AM Classification: Biography
      Surnames: HOBART, PRESTON, PERRY
      JOSEPH HOBART, a veteran of the late war, was born in Chautauqua County, N.Y., in the town of Harmony, September 27, 1842. His father, Lester HOBART, was born in Oneida County, N.Y., where he followed agricultural pursuits, and later was a farmer in Chautauqua County. The paternal grandfather, whose home was in Vermont, served in the War of 1812. Lester HOBART resides in Harmony, N.Y., and is now eighty-two years of age (*1892)His political affiliations led him to join the ranks of the Republican party, where he was influential. The mother of our subject whose maiden name was Mary A. PRESTON, was born in Chautauqua County, N.Y., where she passed from earth in 1850, at the age of forty years. Eight children were born to Lester and Mary A (PRESTON) HOBART, of whom seven grew to maturity. Four sons engaged in the Civil War in defense of the Union and one of these, **Freeland, died at Andersonville. Joseph, of this sketch, was reared on a farm and received a common-school education. When only twenty years of age he enlisted in August, 1862, in Company F, One hundred and Twelfth New York Infantry, and participated in various engagements in which his regiment took part. He witnessed and aided in the bombardment of Charleston, and in the battle of Cold Harbor, June 3, 1864, he was wounded by a minie ball which passed through his left elbow. From the field hospital, whither he was at once taken, he was sent to the general hospital at Fairfax Seminary and there the arm was operated on. Three and one half inches of bone removed and the arm never healed entirely; it has ever since been stiff and useless.

      On October 16, 1864, Mr. HOBART was discharged by reason of disability from gun-shot wounds and returning home, he for two succeeding years was forced to carry his arm in a sling. He engaged as a farmer in Chautauqua County until 1870, when he came to Michigan and sojourned at Holly for a short time. Next he purchased a farm in Atlas Township, Genesee County, comprising ninety acres on section 9, and upon this place he located and engaged in general farming and stock raising. His estate is located on the Kearsley River near the village of Atlas and is valuable not alone on account of its location adjoining the village, but also on account of its fertile soil and fine improvements. In June, 1890, Mr. HOBART retired from active life as a farmer and renting his place, removed to Flint, where he purchased a residence on West Coast Street, No. 919.

      On September 29, 1886, Mr. HOBART was married to Miss Clarinda PERRY, the wedding being celebrated in Davison, Genesee County. The bride was born in Grand Blanc, this county, and is the daughter of Edmund PERRY, a native of Avon, N.Y. Mrs. HOBART, who was the eldest in her father's family, was brought to Davison by her parents when three years old and received her education in the log school house located in the woods near her home. At the age of twenty she commenced to teach, and the following year attended the Michigan State Normal School. The second year in that institution her health failed and she was compelled to cease her studies. Afterward she followed the profession of a teacher in Genesee County many years, mostly in Grand Blanc, and was a member of the Women's Relief Corps of Flint, and belongs to the Baptist Church. In politics Mr. HOBART is a strong Republican and is highly esteemed for his upright life and his self-sacrificing devotion to his country.
