Courier Thursday January 5, 1911 by A. W. Hobson Transcribed by Melvin L. Miller The first white child born in Henry County, Indiana, Mrs. Jemima D. Hobson, aged, 91 years, died at Enid, Oklahoma, Sunday, December 18, 1910. She was a pioneer well and favorably known in the states of Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, and California. She helped to carve a way into the western wilderness in Indiana and Missouri for succeeding generations to build and inhabit. Mrs. Hobson was born March 29, 1820, in a rude, little but hurriedly built of logs near what is now New Castle. Her parents were George and Sally Hobson formerly of North Carolina. Here she married Stephen Hobson, also of North Carolina, afterwards moved to Missouri and they were among the earliest settlers in Andrew County. Family moved to Iowa From this pioneer home she sent her husband and two sons into the Civil War. After the war they moved to Mills County, Iowa, where he died in 1898, and she was buried beside him. Since that time she has lived among her surviving children, James R. Hobson, of Montrose, Colo.; Mrs. e. p. Anderson, of Denver, Colo.; A. W. Hobson, of Lyons, Neb.; Edward B. Hobson, of Los Angeles, Calif.; and A. Eugene Hobson, of Guernsey, Wyo. Her remarkable vitality enabled her to travel these great distances alone to see her children, even to her last week of life. She was remarkable in other ways as well. When she was a young and a small woman, her husband kept a mill and she shouldered a two-bushel sack of wheat and carried it up the gang plank into the mill to shame a customer who wanted someone to come and take his grist into the mill. A Cousin of President Polk. She never used spectacles in her life and could read and write up to the day of her death, prior to which time she had but one spell of sickness during her long life of ninety-two years. She was a descendant of Capt. William Polk, (her maternal grand-father), of Revolutionary fame, whom brother Ezekiel Polk was the grand-father of President James K. Polk and she herself being a third cousin of the president. Miss Annie Currents, book, ‘Genealogy of the Current and Hobson Families’ giving a sketch on her life “In character she was always timid, modest and quiet, always preferring to help with the dishes than to be entertained any other way. You could not keep her from “helping” no matter what how hard you tried, and what she did with her hands in helping was only a sign of the boundless benevolence of her soul. She would give to those whom she saw in trouble. She would deny herself and give her last dollar in her purse to ev! en a stranger if she meet him in trouble,”

Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nk.2ADI/829 Message Board Post: Appler Rueben Wright The subject of this sketch, Hon. A.R. Wright, was born in Putnam County, Indiana, January 20, 1829, and died at his residence in Glenwood, Iowa, October 28, being near 62 years of age. The early years of his life were spent upon a farm, but in 1848, he engaged in the mercantile business, which he followed about six years. He was one of Mills County’s pioneers, coming here in 1854, and locating on land in Lyons Township, some of which he still owned at the time of his demise. For twenty years he resided in Lyons Township, and by his industry and thrift accumulated a competence and established one of the first country homes in the county. While living here Mr. W. and wife were connected with the Christian Church, and through the activity and generosity of the former, a house of worship was erected and regular services maintained for a number of years. In 1847, he moved to Glenwood and engaged in the loan and brokerage business, to which he devoted more or less of ! his time during the remainder of his life. He owned a fine, well improved farm in Center Township, and many of his later years were spent in this pleasant home. However, having disposed of his Center Township farm during the past year, he again took up his abode in Glenwood, and at the time of his death had just completed and moved into one of the most cozy and commodious residences in the city. On December 24, 1849, Mr. Wright and Miss Sarah A. Webster were united in marriage, and four of six children born to them survive with their mother to mourn the loss of father and husband. The children are, Cannie, now wife of Robert Hale, Esq., Frank, Charlie and Fannie. During his long residence in Mills County, Mr. Wright was frequently called upon to serve the people in an official capacity, ranging all the way from township office to member of the Iowa Legislature, of which body, he was twice an honored and useful member. He was a man of strong, earnest conviction, intensely practical, and nothing could sever him from the line of duty which he conceived to be right; and he possessed the good sense and judgment that universally arrayed him on the right side of all questions that affected the well being of the people. As for instance, was not only a believer in, but was a fighter for the cause of prohibition, and at the time of his death was President of the County temperance organization. He has gone to claim his reward for a life of industry, uprightness and careful improvement of the talents that were given him, and for his many good qualities of head and heart, the memory of deceased will linger as a “fond recollection” in the minds of all who enjoyed his acquaintance.

For several years, Mrs. Wright’s health has been declining, his condition getting rapidly worse for the past few months.
