He left school in June, 1868, and on January 1, 1869, entered the wholesale grocery establishment of LeGrand & Co., and remained with the firm six years as an employee, and then for four years was a partner. On January 1, 1879, together with W. F. Vandiver, he bought out LeGrand & Co, and the firm was Hobbie & Vandiver, which continued until January, 1883, when Mr. Hobbie sold out to Vandiver and formed a partnership with William M. Teague, which still continues under the firm name of Hobbie & Teague. Mr. Hobbie was married July 16, 1872, to Leonora E. Jacskson, daughter of John W. A. Jackson, of Montgomery, Ala., and to them were born seven children, as follows: Rebecca Alice, John Martin, Richard Martin, Callie Elizabeth, Henry Martin, Andrew Jackson and Ame Leonora. Asbury Martin, father of H. M. Hobbie, was born in what was then Edgefield district, S. C. He came to Alabama when a young man, and farmed in Montgomery county, Ala., up to his death in 1851. He married Alice Hedgebeth, a native of Robeson county, N. C., and to them were born two children - Zachariah M., died January 25, 1892, near Tyler, Tex. He was a soldier in the late war, and served in the Confederate service in a regiment organized in Pike county, Ala. He served through the entire war as a private. Mrs. Alice Martin died August 20, 1849. Henry M. Hobbie, having been left an orphan at a very early age, was brought up by Mrs. Rebecca E. Hobbie, wife of Simeon Hobbie, who was an intimate friend of Mrs. Alice Martin, and at the latter's death accepted her orphan son, who, when he grew up, in accordance with his foster mother's earnest desire, added the name of Hobbie to that of his own. Mr. Hobbie is now president of the Montgomery wholesale grocers' association.
