recently resigned as manager OF the Cen
tral Vermont system. IL will be remcm-

following sketch of Mr.. Hobart's career
from the Age: "The career OF Mr.. Hobart
has been a remarkable one, but still is
counterpart OF that OF scores OF vermont
BOYS, who have, by their own exertions,
risen to high place in professional or bus
mess circles. He was born in Randolph,
August %, 1929, and was a farmers son,
working the home farm during his young
er DAYS He obtained an academic educa-
tion at Randolph and Thetford Academies,
and when 10 years old began clerkship
in Boston. This life proved uncongeniai,
and in 1913 he obtained employment on the
Central Vermont railroad, which was then
being constructed, and his first duty was
as freight clerk at Braintree, then the
northern terminus OF the road. When the
road was completed to Northtield and It's
offices were located there, Mr.. Hobart was
made a train baggage master, and later
took charge of the construction train,
building the line into Montpelier He ran
the first train into the capitol, and having
married a Montpelier lady, sister OF ;. l..
Howe, the present station agent at Mont
pelier he settled there as station agent IN
1S50 and remained until 1859, whenJ. Greg
ory Smith, the present president OF the
Central Vermont, having come into con.
troll of the road he called Mr.. Hobart to
become master of transportation with his
Headquarters at Northteld. In 1850, with
the removal of the railroad Offices to St.
Albans, Mr.. Hobart came to this town and
in 1867 he was made general freight agent,
and in 1873 general superintendent. IN
Y .f.ffA
made general manager, which Office he
held until June /, the date OF his reslgna-
ton. From 1855 to 1881 ne was president
OF the Ogdensburgh and Lake Champlain
railroad retiring V hen the line was leased
4 to the Central. Mr.. Hobart was never a
politician, but did in 1870 represent 81. Al
bans in the last constitutional convention

/ linquishment OF a labor TO which be has
devoted the best years of his life ne has the
