David Hobart, one of the oldes- and most

of paralysis at his home last Saturday morn

was born June 3, 1921 on the farm where he
died which has been the home of the
Hobart family for ninetysix years. He was
the ninth in q family of twelve children of
the late Rev. James and Betsey Perrin Ho-
bart. His father was the first etled min
lister in the town and was for thirty years
pastor of the First Congregational church
of Berlin. His moi her was the daughter
of q Achariah Perrin, one of the first settlers
of the town, November 10, 1858 he married
Caroline e daughter OF Capt. David Reed
of Dresden, Me-, who died some three years
since. She was very quiet, unostentstious
woman, who lived rather than preached her
religion. She was a descendant OF the eel
ebrated Prescott family, whose names are
familiar both as makers and writers OF
American history. Into this home were
born three children-Dwight, now OF Cana
dian, Tex. aud the Misses Lizzie and Clara,
who live on the ancestral farm. Mr.. Ho-
bart lived 30 quietly that only those who
were best acquainted with him knew his
genuine worth. Under his fathers guild
ance, he read and studied, thereby acquir-
ing thorough education. Gifted with most
remarkable memory he could recount
events that have long since passed into his
tory or had been forgotten by his contem-
poraries, with an accuracy and vividness
which carried the listener back into the
long ago, an eye witness, as it were, OF the
scenes and occurrences described For this
one talent alone, in the right environment,
Mr.. Hobart would have moved a king
among men. He was careful, to precision,
in all of his Statements; open and honest in
his business dealings; and for sixty-eight
years, an earnest, faithful and conscientious
Christian. By general consent, his chris
tian character and devotion to his God and
church, Is declared to be unsurpassed in the

LAS to home-building and land-Owning
among the Negroes in the West, permit
me to read a few pages from paper
[ recently prepared, touching upon that
phase of the question under discussion.
'The ultimate prosperity of any peo-
pIe depends largely upon its Landed in
terests. From time immemOrial, it has
been true that those who own the land
will control those who occupy it. The
Western Negro recognizing this fact is
acquiring fee simple to the land he
occupies. In the cities, he devotes
his first and best energies to the ac-
uuisition of a home, adding to it other
real property as circumstances permit.
While in the rural districts, thousands
of small but prosperous farmers make
good the NegrO's claim to the title OF
| producer as we'll as consumer.
agriculture is accounted the great
| est of the arts because it favorS and
strengthens population, creates and
maintains manufactures, and gives
employment to navigation and material
| to commerce. 1t is, therefore, with
some pride of State as well as Of race,
that I can call attention today, that in
Michigan, the State of my adoption
during the past forty years, colony
of Negroes have amply demonstrated
their fitness to tickle the soil, and
by dint Of hard toll and many sacri
fees, have proven fallacious the theory
that the Negro cannot maintain him
self in the West or Northwest.
