          Hoblitzell & Bro.,

dealers in pine lumber and farm wagons. The firm is composed of Cornelius and Joseph Hoblitzell. Cornelius Hoblitzell was born in Platte County, Missouri, January 10, 1841. His father was a native of Maryland, while his wife was from Pennsylvania. They came to Holt County, Missouri, in the spring of 1844, and settled in Oregon, afterwards moving upon a farm five miles east of town. On this place they lived some time and then came back to Oregon. The town of Brownsville, Nebraska, next became their home, and in the spring of 1861 they returned to Holt County. The boys obtained a fair school education, but received a thorough insight into business. During the war Joseph served in the Union army, and Cornelius served in the Enrolled Missouri Militia. In 1865 Joseph and Cornelius engaged in the mercantile business, which they continued some two years and then became interested in the lumber business, in which they have since been engaged. They have a large yard at St. Joseph, Missouri, which Joseph superintends, and Cornelius superintends the other four, situated at Oregon, Forest City, Craig, and Fairfax. All these yards are conducted by men well qualified for their positions - Edmund Pinkston at Forest City, Charles Doughty at Craig, and William Combs at Fairfax. They own all the lumber yards in Holt County, except two, and do a thriving business at these points. They have taken a deep interest in the growth and improvement of the county. Cornelius moved to Craig in 1875 and resided there six years, returning to Oregon in 1881. He owns a fine fruit farm east of Oregon, of some seventy-five acres, on which he has some 1,100 trees of all kinds and a large quantity of small fruit. He is a member of Craig Lodge, No. --, A. F. & A. M., in which he holds the office of Worshipful Master. Mr. H. was married March 19, 1861, to Amanda M. Combs, of Peru, Nebraska. She was a native of Illinois and was born November 27, 1842. They have three children living: Cora B., born January 14, 1862, (now Mrs. H. F. Allen, of Watson, Atchison County); Winnie V., born February 9, 1870; William H., born January 5, 1881. Himself, wife and eldest daughter are active members of the M. E. Church, Oregon, in which he fills the positions of steward and Sabbath School superintendent. He is also president of the Holt County Sabbath School organization.

At the age of 21 years he emigrated to Huron County, Ohio, where he resided till 1840, when he removed to Platte County, Missouri. After remaining there till 1844, he came to this county, and was engaged in various branches of business, among them being farming, tailoring, and merchandising. In 1855 he removed to Nemaha County, Nebraska, where he lived till 1860, then returning to this county, and in 1876 he became interested with his sons in their extensive business.

(deceased), William, Christenia, Eunice (deceased), Cornelius, Joseph and James (deceased). They are members of the M. E. Church.
