From the Newspaper The Raleigh Christian Advocate [Raleigh, North Carolina], 4-17-1878:
"John M. Hobson of Hale Co., Ala , died at the residence of his mother, in Davie Co., N. C. March 10th 1878, in the 36th year of his age.
Bro. Hobson moved to Ala., in 1869, and in 1874 married Miss Sallie Lee Nicholson of Halifax Co., N. C, and carried her to his home in his adopted State. In less than two years, the shadow of death was projected across their path. Bro. Hobson's health began to fail. The symptoms were unmistakable . Consumption had began its relentless work of disintegration. He knew what it meant. Death was at the door. Up to this time he had neglected giving that attention to religion which he felt ought to have been done. But he never began to seek for peace and pardon, at the throne of Grace, where the penitent never comes in vain.
In June 1877, he returned to his mother. Mrs. Ann Hobson of Davie Co , N. C. to die. While there, I visited him often, and gave him instruction, from time to time, in those things, that pertain to the kingdom of Christ. He gradually awaked to the consciousness that the felt and distressing condemnation had passed away, "and all things had become new.
On the 25th October, I baptized him and his little daughter Pattie. He continued joyful through hope to the end. Of his approaching death, he would talk calmly; and with great assurance, he would speak of his "sweet rest in Heaven." A communion service was held in his dying chamber, in which he and a few relatives and friend participated. It was a pleasant and profitable occasion. Death had lost its sting and the grave its victory through Jesus Christ, he conquered when he fell.
