Louis Hobson, 85, Has Died, Aug. 16, 1923

Mr. Louis H. Hobson

Mr. Louis H. Hobson, aged 85 years, died at his home in McLauchlin township on Tuesday, August 7th, 1923. He lived a long and useful life. His nearest neighbors thought well of him. He was held in high esteem by a large number of friends.

He was a deeply pious man, and lived a consistent member of the Methodist church for many years. For many weeks he lay waiting for the last call.

Mr. Hobson was a brave Confederate soldier and did well his part for a cause he loved, and was a good and useful citizen since the close of that fratricidal struggle.

His remains were interred in Raeford cemetery Wednesday afternoon, a large gathering of friends assembling to pay a last tribute of respect.
