Mr. Alcock engaged in the wheat and corn milling business here long before oil and gas were discovered and the present industrial activity of the community began. He came to Chanute November 26, 1882 from Ottumwa, Iowa and in 1888, in association with his father and brothers established what became the Star Rollers Mills at 501 East Main. Two years later, saw mill equipment was added. This did a good business for close to a score of years, then was discontinued with the decline in building operations following the passing of the oil boom. Mr. Alcock, however continued the milling business until recently, when ill health forced him to give it up. He was 61 years old, having been born at Marietta, Ohio September 20, 1859. He was a good miller and a good citizen playing a prominent part in the development of the community. Surviving are his widow and 2 children, Mildred and Arthur, of the home address and a brother, George W. Alcock, and a sister, Miss Drusilla Alcock in this city.
