HOBBLE CAME TO DODGE CITY IN1878--Friends Call on Him at Ft.Dodge on His Anniversary.______ Yesterday was the 78th birthday anniversary of P. R. Hobble, former Justice of the peace in Dodge City, but now living at Ft. Dodge. A number of friends and relative drove out from Dodge City last evening to visit Mr. Hobble and compliment him upon his arrival at so advanced an age. Mr. Hobble is one of the pioneers in Ford county, having come here February 22, 1878, when he settled seven miles northwest of Dodge City on the northeast quarter of section 12-26-26. In spite of the fact that he was born in a log lean-to in the backwoods of Ohio and went to school but five months in his entire life, Mr. Hobble secured a good common-sense education. For fourteen years he was a justice of the peace in Dodge City. During that time he decided between 1400 and 1500 civil cases and 500 criminal cases and never had a decision reversed by a superior court. Mr. Hobble attempted to enlist the first day of the first call for troops in the civil war with the First Ohio infantry. He was rejected on account of his lack of height, but persisted in his attempt to get into the service and was enlisted four days later in the Thirteenth Infantry. He took part in 32 battles and skirmishes with the army of the Cumberland, and was wounded at Resecca on the march to the sea. He was captured and taken to Andersonville prison where he served six months, followed by fifteen days at Florence where he was taken for exchange. He came out of the army weighing 79 pounds. Among those who called on Mr. Hobble last evening were A. R. Anthony, C. W. Woolwine and wife, H. B. Bell, Frank Hobble and family and a brother, George Hobble, who lives at Ft. Dodge. Until a few years ago Mr. Hobble was in good health and was able to attend to his office and a large apiary, but is now unable to walk as a result of rheumatism contracted in prison.The Dodge City GlobeThursday, March 7, 1918, Pg. 1Vol. XLI, No. 23P. R. HOBBLEDEAD AT FORT______A Resident of Ford County Since the70's. Former Justice of the PeaceSuccumbs to Old Age.______ One of Dodge City's earliest settlers, P. R. Hobble, for years active in the business and judicial life of this community, finally forced on account of his advanced age to remove to the quiet of the Soldiers' Home, died today at Fort Dodge. Mr. Hobble reached the age of 78 years. He came to Ford county in the '70's taking a homestead north of Dodge City. At one time Mr. Hobble operated a grocery store and bakery here, and was justice of the peace for twelve years during his later life. He was prominent in G. A. R. activities. In later years Mr. Hobble followed the apiary business, and was president of the American Bee Association for many years. Mr. Hobble leaves many close friends in Dodge City and Ford county. A son, John Hobble, employed on the New York Journal, came in this afternoon on the Rock Island. A brother, George Hobble, resides at the Soldiers' Home. He leaves four sons, Burt of Liberal, Frank of Dodge City, John of New York, and Nelson, who lives in California. Four daughters also survive him. |
