Mr. B. F. Hobgood Dead-Came Here to Beside of His Mother 
In-law And Suffered Stroke of Paralysis. Benjamin F. Hobgood, 
of Oxford, NC. died at 6 o’clock Monday evening at the home 
of his brother in law, John T. White, 506 North Marshall 
Avenue, Brawnleton, as the result of Paralysis. His paralysis 
seizure occurred some time Saturday night or early Sunday 
morning, but his condition was not discovered until he was 
called on Sunday morning for breakfast.

Mr. Hobgood was summone to Northfolk with his wife and son 
last week on account of the illness of his mother in law, 
Mrs. Mary W. White, whose death occurred last Thursday. His 
health appeared to be excellent, but it is probably that the 
affliction through which the family has recently passed in 
the death of Mrs. White had some effect in hastening his own 
collapse.

Mr. Hobgood was formerly engaged in farming near Oxford, but 
for several years had been engaged in business in that town. 
He was 60 years of age.

Mr. Hobgood is survived by his widow, formerly Miss Carrie 
White of Portsmouth; a daughter, Miss Jessie Hobgood; and two 
sons, Benjamin Hobgood, of Jacksonville, and Harry Hobgood, 
and one brother Prof. F.P. Hobgood, President of Oxford Female 
Seminary, who was by his bedside when the end came.

The funeral services took place on Wednesday morning 11 o’clock 
at 506 North Marshall Avenue-Norfolk Landmark. The sudden death 
of Mr. Hobgood was a shock to his friends and relatives in 
Oxford and Granville and deep sympathy is expressed on all 
sides for the bereaved ones.-------
