The death of Col. e. L.. Hobson, which
occurred without the slightest warning
last evening, removed one of the honored
and beloved members Of this community.
Though he was a Virginia only by adop-
ton, he had formed such ties and SO iden-
titled himself with Richmond that he was
one of her leading citizens. Not only had
Col Hobson cast in his lot with Richmond
during the Civil War, when he served rs
colonel of the Fifth Alabama with great
gallantry and distinction, but after that
troublous period he gave his efforts and
his care to the upbuilding of Richmond's
life. He was widely known, both in the
spheres of religious work and business,
and the memory of his good works and
high. example as a gentleman and Chris
5tian will long be remembered.
