LEVI GREGG BROCK

Mr. Levi Gregg Brock, one of Moundsville's most prominent citizens, died early this morning at the family home, Tomlinson avenue and Ninth street.

Mr. Brock was found dead in bed by his daughter, Mrs. H. B. Bakewell, who went to his room when he failed to show up at the usual time for breakfast.

The death was a sad shock to the many hundreds of relatives and friend of the deceased. He had been in the usual state of health and last night attended a meeting of the Men's Bible class of the Christian church at the residence of O. S. Chambers.

Returning home about 10 o'clock Mr. Brock retired, and at the time he was found this morning had probably been dead about two hours.

The deceased was born in Monroe county, O., on March 10, 1845, and was thus in his seventy-fourth year.

WOUNDED AT SHILOH

He enlisted in the Union army when he was a mere boy of sixteen and served about a year. At the battle of Shiloh he was severely wounded in the hip and a short time afterward he was honorably discharged from the army on disability grounds. The wound he received at Shiloh affected his physical activities all throughout life.

For twenty-one years Mr. Brock followed the profession of school teaching and in 1884 he entered the Marshall County Bank where he remained as assistant cashier and bookkeeper until 1905, a period of twenty-two years, when he resigned to move to St. Helena, California, to go into retirement.

He lived ten years in California and returned to Moundsville in 1915.

Religiously Mr. Brock was a devout member of the Christian church of this city and for forty years, excepting the period in which he resided in California, he was an elder in the local church.

Fraternally he had been a Mason for fifty-one years and only last year was presented with the fifty year service Masonic medal. He was also a member of the I.O.O.F., the National Union and the G.A.R.

Mr. Brock had served on the city council and for twelve years was president of the Moundsville board of education.

The survivors include one son Lisle G. Brock and two daughters, Mrs. H. B. Bakewell and Mrs. W. J. Bryant.

Rev. J. B. Smith, pastor of the Christian church where Mr. Brock worshiped, is out of the city today but has been notified and will return to conduct the funeral services.

L. G. BROCK PASSED AWAY

L. G. Brock, one of the best known and most respected residents of Moundsville passed away early this morning of heart trouble at his home at the corner of Ninth street and Tomlinson avenue. He was 73 years of age and had been a resident of Moundsville during the most of his lifetime.

He was apparently in good health and his death came as a great surprise. He attended a meeting of his Sunday school class last night and seemed as usual. He was all right at five o'clock this morning, but shortly after seven o'clock life departed. When a physician was summoned he pronounced it a case of heart trouble and that death was instantaneous.

Mr. Brock was born March 10, 1845 in Monroe county, Ohio. He early moved to Moundsville and became a prominent citizen.

For twenty-one years he was connected with the Marshall county bank and was for nine years a member of the Board of Education of the Independent school district. He was an active member of the Christian church and was a member of J. C. Caldwell post No. 6, G.A.R., the Masonic order, the Odd Fellows and the National Union.

He enlisted on the union side in the civil war and fought gallantly until wounded at Shiloh. His wounds prevented his serving longer and he was honorably discharged.

In 1905 he removed from Moundsville to California and there was located at San Diego and other places. He remained in that western state for ten years, returning to Moundsville three years ago, in 1915. He has since been leading a retired life but was active in Church, lodge, and other civic affairs.

He is survived by his wife, two children, his son Lyle B. Brock and daughter Mrs. Maude Bakewell, both of this city, and four grandchildren, Catherine Brock, Julian Brock, Herbert Bakewell and Thera Bakewell. A sister and a brother survive: Mrs. Mary Yoho of Martins Ferry and William Brock of Beallsville, Ohio.

Mrs. Virginia Bryant of this city, is an adopted daughter.

Funeral arrangements are incomplete but services will probably be held Monday or Tuesday with interment in Mount Rose.
