  George Black Hoblitzell, known in Meyersdale as "Huck", a son of the late Mr. 
and Mrs. William T. Hoblitzell, died last Friday night in his home in Andrews, 
North Carolina.  His death was attributed to a heart attack following a major

extract business in Andrews, N.C., where he has resided until his untimely death 
at the age of 56.
  In 1916, he was united in marriage with Miss Clara L. Eugank of Andrews, who 
survives with one son, William T. Hoblitzell II.  A daughter, Fanny Sue, 
preceded her father in death.  He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. William 
T. Tess of Nashville, Tennessee.  A brother, James T. Hoblitzell, died several 
years ago in Meyersdale.
  Funeral services were conducted at the late residence in Andrews, Sunday
