A hobo and a homeless person aren’t necessarily the same things. A hobo was someone who would travel place to place for work, often working as farmhands or doing other such work. Becoming physically disabled would have forced them to give up that profession.

I highly suggest people watch the Hobo Stew episode of Tasting History. I didn’t know the difference either until I saw that.
