DEATH OF MRS. BROCK
An Estimable Ward 6 Lady Passes Suddenly Away

Mrs. William S. Brock died at her residence, 175 Merrimac street, yesterday afternoon. The deceased has for some time been a great sufferer, but has borne her trouble without a murmur. Mrs. Brock was a member of the Woman's Relief Corps of this city and was one of the hardest workers of the post at the dinner at Black Rocks and county parade September 19. She was always willing to do her share of the work laid out by the corps, of which she has always been a faithful member. She was an estimable lady and her death will be mourned by all who knew her.

She leaves besides a husband, four sons, William S. Jr., John A., O.P., and George M., and one daughter, Mrs. Flora Brown. Her funeral will take place tomorrow.

Her first husband, Caleb Cushing Pike, died at Antietam, 17 Sep 1862.

NOTE: She is buried next to husband William S. Brock, but the inscription on her grave is barely legible.
