HISTORY OF OHIO - The American Historical Society, Inc., 1925
Volume IV, page 101

        HOBART L. SHEETS, junior member of the real estate firm of Kitchen
& Sheets, was born at Middletown, January 30, 1896. He was educated in high
school, and then went to work in the offices of the Bell Telephone Company
as an accountant. He resigned in 1916 to become a real estate salesman with
Nein Brothers, and on April 1, 1923, became associated with Mr. Kitchen, as
above noted. (the biography above Mr. Sheets in this book is that of Samuel
H. Kitchen.)
        He is an ex-service man, having served as a member of Company E of
the Tree Hundred Thirtieth Infantry during the World war. He is affiliated
with the American Legion, the Knights of Pythias, the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks and the Masons, and is a member of the Community
Golf Club and Civic Association.
        On December 10, 1919, at Middletown, Mr. Sheets married Miss May
Binkley, who was also educated in the Middletown High School. They have one
son, James Harrison, born March 17, 1923.
        Kitchen & Sheets acquired the Jewell and Mary Fisher Smith farms of
278 acres in 1924 and organized the Kitchen & Sheets Development Company.
They platted the above farms in 607 lots, known as Dixie Heights, which is
selling very rapidly. This subdivision fronts 4,500 feet on Dixie Highway
and 2.700 feet on Manchester Road, opposite the 400-acre A.R.M. Company
Park. This is the largest plat ever recorded from this section in Butler
County.
