Son of Dr. John and Elizabeth Hobson. At the age of 6 his parents located near Alton, where farm property was purchased. Here a residence was made from 1849 until 1855, when the family settled near the village of Buckin, on the Grafton road, where farm property was purchased. Here were passed the last days of Dr. John Hobson, a most worthy gentleman of wealth, whose memory is cherished by many residents of Greene County. The family now consisted of Mrs. Hobson and Edward, an only child. Mrs. H. having realatives at Carrollton, now decided to make her home there. Edward received his education at Carrollton, which was afterward brought to completion at Shurtleff College, situated at Upper Alton. In 1864, he began the study of medicine under Dr. Armstrong, of Carrollton, in 1867 graduating from Rush Medical College, Chicago. Returning to Carrollton, he entered into the drug business with A. H. Donahue. Two years later the firm disposed of their interest to Fry & Armstrong. Dr. Hobson now turned his attention to farming, in Montgomery county, where he owns 1000 acres, a magnificent property. He married Emma P. Elliott, daughter of Robert Elliott, on 7 May 1868 in Greene County, Illinois. There were two children: Mary E and Adele W. Hobson. His wife Emma died in 1879. In 1879, he became identified with the Carrollton bank, one of the safest institutions in the county, where he was assistant cashier."
