  • Notes 
    • There is not much information known about Dix Hobart. This is due to the fact that Mary Tuffley, his wife left him due to his abusive nature, a result of alchoholism. Sometime after 1900, Mary developed a plan to leave him. While he was at work she packed the children's belongings and hid them from his sight. In the middle of the night, perhaps with the help of the older children she hitched the horses to the wagon and loaded it with the children's belongings. She then woke the children and quietly spirited them to the awaiting wagon. She fled to her parent's house. From that point forward, no one ever spoke much of Dix R. Hobart. According to his daughter Dora Maude Hobart Bailer, while they were married, Dix would come home from work and he would make the children sit in a circle in the the straight backed dining room chairs. They weren't allowed to utter a word. According to Dora, the children developed hand signals to silently communicate and make the situation tolerable. When Dix was 72, he was living in the Cortland County Almshouse which was a county "poorhouse."

      Following the US Federal Census information allows us to piece together where Dix was living and with whom every ten years.
      In 1860, Dix was 1 years old living with his parents Amasa and Jeanette Hobart in Marcellus, NY where his father was a laborer most likely on a farm.
      In 1870, Dix was 11 living with his parents in Tully New York where his father was a farm laborer.
      In 1880, Dix was 21 living with his parents and six siblings in Tully, NY where he was a farm hand.
      In 1900, Dix was 41 living in Scott Town, Cortland County, NY. He and Mary had been married to Mary for 18 years and had nine children living with them. Dix owned the farm
      In 1910, Dix was 51 living in Spafford, Cortland County, NY. He and Mary were divorced and living with Dix on a farm that he owned was his 70 year old mother Jeanette who was widowed and his 24 year old sister Carrie J Hobart
      According to the 1910 US Federal Census, Dix ex-wife Mary and her four youngest children were living with her father Henry Tuffley and her brother Edward Tuffley in Otisco, NY
      In 1920, Dix was still living on the farm in Spafford, NY but by himself.
      In 1930, Dix was 72 living in Cortlandville Township listed as an "inmate" in the Cortland County Almshouse.

      Dix death certificate reflects that he died July 6, 1937. His death certificate was witnessed by his sister, Carrie (Hobart) Keyes.
