      BIOGRAPHIES: James HOBART, Fairchild, Eau Claire Co., WI

      =================================================

      James Hobart, farmer, P. O. Fairchild, Eau Claire county, was born in Lake county, Ohio, April 8, 1818, and is the eighth in the family of sixteen children of Benjamin and Mary (Wheeler) Hobart, natives of New Hampshire and Massachusetts respectively. His father was born June 10, 1777, and died August 13, 1852; his mother was born in Greenwich, Hampshire county, Mass., September 13, 1785,and died in 1855. Their children were Sarah, deceased wife of Ira Herrick; Speedy, deceased wife of Horace Winehell; John Sullivan, died in 1885; Lydia, deceased wife of Jefferson Rogers; Betsey, deceased wife of Z. Norton; Julia Ann, died in 1888, wife of Sherman Clark; Florilla, died when twelve years of age; Benjamin Franklin; Mary Wheeler, wife of Joseph Skinner; Minerva Jane and Luther. The rest of the children died in infancy.

      James Hobart was reared to manhood in his native state, and remained there until 1849, when he came to Wisconsin, and settled in Dane county. In 1859 he came to Monroe county and in 1863 to Eau Claire county, where he homesteaded eighty acres of pine and tamarac timber land. His first years were full of hardship so common to the early settlers. He has owned 600 acres of good farming land, but sold a part, still retaining 260 acres of good tillable land. This he has improved with a comfortable residence, other buildings and fences. He is a progressive farmer, and is turning his attention to the raising of the best grades of stock, preferring the Shropshire breed of sheep and short horn cattle. He is meeting with great success in the culture of bees, having about fifty stands. Mr. Hobart was married, February 12, 1836, to Marietta Clark, a daughter of James and Clara (Blanchard) Clark, natives of Vermont. Mrs. Hobart was born in Licking county, Ohio, April 11, 1816. They have eight children, namely: Orpha J., wife of William H. Miller; Caroline Amerlia, deceased wife of T. M. Hobart; Clarissa C., wife of J. R. Waste; Minerva Melissa, wife of Albert Ayres; James Jr.; Ida Irena, wife of Holland Cole; Frances Emma, wife of Henry Fielder, and Orson, the eldest child was killed during the battle of the Wilderness, in Virginia, in May, 1864, a volunteer from Wisconsin. Mr. Hobart is a republican in politics, and has served his county in offices of trust and honor, among with are those of supervisor and justice of the peace. He is charitable in his dealings with his neighbors and has won for himself a host of friends.
