Hallie LeClere was born Harriet Gertrude Hobbs, the twin sister of Horace G. Hobbs. They were born in Matagorda County, Texas. Father was Jesse Hobbs and mother was Celia Ann Lee Hobbs. Disliking the name Harriet (her grandmother's name), she preferred to be called Hallie (as did her grandmother). Jesse and Celia had five other children; all except one were younger than Hallie and Horace.
Hallie married Frank M. LeClere in Galveston, Galveston County, Texas in 1895.
Hallie and Frank had one son, Lauryn Purris LeClere born August 26, 1904. They raised Horace's daughter, Hallie Marie Hobbs after her mother died in 1903 during an influenza epidemic.
Hallie was a seamstress. She worked as an alterations person at an upscale department store in Galveston. She could look at a dress in a store window and go home and make it. She passed this talent along to her niece, Hallie.
Hallie, or Nonny, as her niece Hallie Hobbs Whittington called her, died in Houston in December of 1938 and was buried in Alvin, Brazoria County, Texas, in the Confederate Cemetery.
