Vanhusen [sic] – male, white, married age 50 yrs, 11 mo, b. Vermont, d. 13 Dec 1892 outside Chico, Ca." Source: Earliest Death and Burial Records, in the Butte County Courthouse, published serially in the Paradise Genealogical Society's publication, The Goldmine, Vol 6, No. 2, pg 6. ~~~ "CHARLES V. HOBART, a prominent rancher of Butte County was born in Vergennes, Addison County, Vermont, Jan. 25, 1842, the son of Allen P. Hobart, a native of New York, who removed to Massachusetts and thence to Vermont. Allen was married in the latter state to Marilla Martin, a native of Vermont and a daughter of Nathaniel Martin, a pioneer of that country. Allen and Marilla were the parents of five children of whom Charles was second. Allen came to California in 1849, where he engaged in mining, and later was an extensive farmer and stock-raiser. He brought his family to this state in 1854, where they resided until his death, which occurred in 1877. "Charles was in his fifteenth year when he came to this state. He learned the mercantile business as a clerk in Sacramento and afterward removed to Colusa County, where he engaged in the occupation and was also interested in stock-raising. He came to Chico in 1866, and was for some time in the mercantile business, but is now in the grain, insurance and commission business, and also a horticulturist, raising almonds, oranges and other fruits. "Charles was married in 1870, to Miss Emroy Bidwell, a native of Vermont, but she was reared and educated in this State. "Charles and Emroy have no family of their own, but are rearing and educating three children. Mr. Hobart has had a wide experience in the growth and development of California, and takes a deep interest in the welfare of his State, with which he has so long been intimately connected. He is a pleasant gentleman and a reliable business man. Source: From the "HISTORY OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA." ~~~ CHARLES VAN DUSEN HOBART - An enterprising, far-sighted man, and an equally broad-minded and noble-hearted woman, the one enthusiastically active in promoting the development and advancement of a community, the allotted greatness of which he was not destined to see, and the other proudly carrying forward the splendid traditions of a pioneer family long identified with the building of the Golden State --- such was the late Charles Van Dusen Hobart, and such is the esteemed lady who was his wife. He was born in Vergennes, VT, the son of Allen P. Hobart, also a Vermonter, who came to California as an early pioneer and located first at Jacinto, in what was then Colusa County, but now Glenn County. Allen P. Hobart was a farmer and land-owner; but later selling out, he settled in Chico. At Big Meadows, he became interested in a mercantile business, and he also started a store at Prattville; and besides his other enterprises, he invested also in mining interests. After retiring from active pursuits, he resided in Chico until he died. Mrs. Allen Hobart, who, before her marriage was Mirilla Martin, a native of the Green Mountain State, joined her husband, bringing along her children, two years after he came to California; and eventually she died in San Francisco. "Charles V. Hobart was the second eldest of three children, in his parents' family, and the only son. He attended the Vergennes public schools, and when fourteen he came to California and here continued his schooling in Sacramento. Then he entered his uncle's mercantile establishment in that city, and remained with him until he came to Chico. Here he became a clerk in the store of Jones and Suydam. Later he started a dry-goods store on Main Street, where he continued for several years, until he engaged in the grain and commission business. He was one of the earliest grain commission merchants of Chico; and he also conducted a general insurance agency. "In course of time, Mr. Hobart bought a farm on Clear Creek, fourteen miles from Chico; and there he set out an orchard of oranges, lemons and almonds, and went in for general farming. However, he was not destined to enjoy the fruits of his labors, nor see the fulfillment of his plans. One Sunday he rode out to visit his farm, and the next day he was stricken with paralysis and died before night. This was on December 10, 1902 [sic, 1892], and at his passing, the community lost one of its most valued members. "Very properly one may regard the life and work of Mr. Hobart as contributing materially to the building up of Chico. He himself had erected and owned the brick building on Second Street between Broadway and Salem, where he had his offices; and he also built a beautiful residence on a block of ground on the Esplanade, at Chico Vecino. Politically, Mr. Hobart was an ardent Republican; and fraternally, he was a member of the Red Men. "When Mr. Hobart married, he chose for his bride Miss Emroy Bidwell, a daughter of Daniel Bidwell, who was born in northern New York, and was reared at Chateaugay, in that state ..."
