Hoben, a well known, prominent and highly esteemed farmer of the Gladwin community ended his life early Saturday morning by hanging himself in a small barn on his farm near Gladwin. Mr. and Mrs. Hoben recently purchased the property of the late Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Garard in this city and Mr. Hoben spent several days in town last week superintending the repainting and other improvements which were being made to the house. He seemed to be worried about some of the details which it is thought may have brought on a period of despondency. No inquest was held. William Hoben was born on the same farm on which he died, February 18, 1879 and had always lived on this same farm. His father was the late Henry Hoben, one of the well known pioneers of Louisa county. He was united in marriage to Miss Kate Hines. To them five sons were born, all of whom with the wife and mother survive to mourn his death. They are: James Hoben and Randall Hoben who live on farms in the Gladwin community; Eldred, who is a student at the State University of Oklahoma at Norman, Oklahoma, Earl Henry, who recently joined the U. S. Navy, and Max, at home. He is also survived by four grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. James Orr, of Woods, South Dakota. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon with a short service at the home at 1:30 conducted by the Rev. E. Jasmann of Conesville. The body was then taken to the Swank church where services were held at 2:30 and were largely attended. Selections were sung by a choir the members of which were: A. W. Jones, J.H. Gipple, Ed Settlemire, and the Rev. Jasmann. The pallbearers were: Rollo McKean, Henry Swailes, Robert Crim, Robert Green, Floyd Marston and Burl Jones. Burial in the Swank cemetery. Eldred Hoben, student at the State University of Oklahoma at Norman, Oklahoma, arrived here Sunday to attend the service. Another son, Earl Henry, who recently joined the U. S.
