Ernest Hobson
On Thursday, February 15th, 1973, in his 77th year, passed peacefully away. He had been ill for quite some time. Ernest had served Holy Trinity, Mapperley, for the whole of his life. He will be missed by both church and community. He had worked as a miner all his life until retirement. I, with many of his other mates, knew him in this capacity.

Throughout their life together, Ernest and Dorothy have been devoted to one another. Their family, whom they love so much, has been a tower of strength to them in these dark days.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with Dorothy and family.
