Third son born to Karl D & Rosa Guhn Hobbie, baptized and confirmed in the Zion Lutheran Church, Tipton, KS.

08/16/1927 Married Mamie Sophia Reich, daughter of Fred and Hattie Pottberg Reich.

Parents of:
Duane August Hobbie 1930-1988

Warren and wife Mamie were killed in a car accident near Colby, Kansas, in March of 1949.

Osborne Farmer Journal 1949: Warren G. Hobbie, 45, Cortez, Colorado, was killed almost instantly about 11 o'clock Thursday morning when the 1940 coach he was driving slid on the pavement wet with falling snow and collided with a truck owned by Joseph C. Dawes at a point on Highway 24 two miles west of Colby, KS. Together with his wife, Mayme, he was thrown from the car under the truck. As reconstructed by the highway patrol, it is thought that a wheel of the truck passed over the head of Mr. Hobbie, who lived but a few minutes. Mrs. Hobbie was critically injured, having sustained a broken neck, crushed ribs and chest besides other injuries. Duane, 18, a son, was not injured except for shock. The family was returning to their home in Colorado after having attended the funeral of a relative in Tipton. Later from an announcement in the Beloit Daily Call of March 21, we learn that Mrs. Warren Hobbie also passed away in the hospital at Colby on Sunday following the accident. Double funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Lutheran Church in Tipton. Warren Hobbie is a cousin of Hobert Hobbie and Bertha Hobbie of Osborne and the late George Hobbie of Beloit.
