    • The following sketch was published in History of Holt and Atchison Counties, Missouri.... in 1882.

                Adrian Hoblitzell.

           The subject of this sketch is one of the pioneer settlers of Northwestern Missouri, and is the father of the members of the well known firm of Hoblitzell Brothers. He is the son of John and Rebecca (Cary) Hoblitzell, and is of French-German descent. Mr. H. was born June 27, 1809, in Alleghany County, Maryland. He was there reared to manhood, and received his education, also learning the trade of tailoring. 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. Although quite an old gentleman, Mr. H. is yet actively engaged in business, and would, by his energy and sprightliness be taken for a much younger man. He was married August 30, 1830, to Miss Elizabeth Darland, a native of Pennsylvania. They have had seven children, four of whom are now living: Julia A. (deceased), William, Christenia, Eunice (deceased), Cornelius, Joseph and James (deceased). They are members of the M. E. Church. Mr. H. was one of the original members and trustees of the first church of that denomination built in Oregon. He was at one time constable of Lewis Township, and was county judge of Nemaha County, Nebraska, for one term.
