Nelle "Nell" Bridges Mullineux Hobt was the only child of William Ellsworth and Iva "Ivy" Bridges Mullineux. While Nell was born in Ohio, her mother's family were from Maysville, Kentucky, and her father's family were from Gallipolis, Ohio. She graduted from Scott High School in Toledo, Ohio.
Nell Mullineux is found in the 1915, 1916, and 1917 City Directory for Toledo, Ohio. At least for part of this time she served as a clerk for the Pere Marquette Railway in Toledo, Ohio, where her father was also employed. As far as we know, she was never employed again.
Nell married Albert Watt Hobt, 26 January, 1918 in Columbus, Ohio. They were the parents of one son, Albert Watt Hobt Jr.Nell is found in the following US Federal census records:
- 1900 for Madison, Clark Co., Ohio with her parents
- 1910 for Wellston, Jackson Co., Ohio with her parents
- 1920 for Toledo, Lucas Co., Ohio with her spouse, Albert Watt Hobt, and son
- 1930 for Knoxville, Knox Co., Tn with her spouse and son
- 1940 for Knoxville, Knox Co., Tn with her spouse, son and father
Nell Hobt is later found in the 1924-1934 City Directories for Knoxville, Tn., and again in 1942. Nell and Albert Hobt lived in an apartment on Laurel Ave., near the UT campus. Nell had both a cook and a housekeeper.
She was a cultured and refined lady, with beautiful clothes and lovely scarves, gloves and hats. Her rhinestone collection remains stunning. Her granddaughter remembers her as a woman involved with many of the events of faculty wives at the University of Tennessee. She entertained, played bridge, attended UT plays and concerts, and belonged to the First Methodist Church. She learned to drive and had her own car, when very few of her peers did.
On a more personal level she maintained a feeding station for the birds and often could be found watching the birds that frequent a urban feeder. Cardinals were her favorites. She kept a supply of lifesaver candy rolls and quarters in her dresser drawers, and as part of a farwell ritual, Nell handed them out to her grandchildren just before we left her apartment. The usual choices were butterscotch, peppermint, cherry, or mixed fruit. If we picked the mixed fruit we didn't eat the coconut ones. And a quarter was big spending money for a kid back then. She loved dogs and had Boston terrier.
