Failing in health and therefore being unable to continue his work here he decided best to return to Columbus where he could engage in lighter employment. His health, however, continued to grow worse and on Friday succumbed to Bright’s disease. He was a man of 44 years of age and a gentleman who was held in high esteem by all who knew him. His exemplary character, honest and frank dealings with all and his affable disposition endeared him in the estimation of those with whom he came in contact. Besides his wife, Mr. Hobbs is survived by one son, Douglas; three brothers, Messrs. G.T., of Columbus; James, of LaGrange, and Virgil, of this county; two sisters, Mrs. C.J. Woodall, of Kissimee, Fla. and Mrs. Mollie Stewart, of Ellaville. The funeral took place from his late home Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock, the services being conducted by Rev. J.N. Peacock and the interment was to Riverdale cemetery, Columbus. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.6 Kb
