Hobson, 43, KyKyKy, racehorse trainer; Helen, wife, 38, OhNyNy; And then found his death date with this: The Pittsburg Press, 13 Jul 1929 Google search MOREHEAD HOBSON DEAD Morehead Hobson, for many years a trainer and race driver of the Pittsburgh and Washington district, died at the latter place Monday. During the big days, at Brunots Island he had trained a public stable and raced both professionally and in the matinee sport for many years. He brought out among others the pacing mare, Lady May 2:04, whom he drove to her record at Columbus in 1904. He also raced Robin C., 2:08 1/4, for R.H. Boggs, Lady May was owned by W. A. Avey, who drove her to the world's record for pacing mares to wagon. Mode Hobson, who came from Kentucky, spent his entire life with the harness horses and the runners except the past 4 years. He was street commissioner at Washington, Pa. He had a wide acquaintence in this locality. But I still need his burial and possibly Morehead and Helen married there? Does anyone have that info? Thank you. Kaern Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
