E. C. Hobron, 70 years Resident Here, Is Dead
E. Coit Hobron, for almost 70 years a resident of the Islands, died at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Queen's Hospital. He had been in failing health the past 10 years or more. Funeral services will be held at 4 o'clock this afternoon in the Catholic Cathedral, Fort street, interment to be in the family plot in Nuuanu cemetery.
Surviving the deceased is a daughter, Mrs. Martha Hobron Smith, and two step-daughters, Mrs. Mary Espinda and Mrs. David Kalauokalani, the last mentioned being the wife of the city clerk. Mrs. Hobron died some years ago. The late Mr. Hobron made his residence the last few years of his life at 1745 Beach walk, Waikiki.
Born on November 25, 1833, in New London, Connecticut, Mr. Hobron came to Hawaii in a whaling ship when a little over 18 years of age. He landed at Lahaina, Maui, on August 22, 1852, and spent the remainder of his life in Hawaii, being a resident of Honolulu most of this time.
Hobron retired from active business life about 15 years ago, ill health forcing him to go into practical retirement at that time. The past 10 years or more Hobron was an invalid and was seldom seen about the city. He was prominent in Honolulu business circles for many years and was the founder of the Hobron Drug company, which has since merged into one of the present city drug firms. Hobron was one of the founders of Honolulu Brewing & Malting company, which went out of business shortly after the war with Germany, following the passage of the Shepard prohibition law for the Territory. At this time he was the largest individual stockholder of the company.
