With the dawning of the Sabbath day, the soul of Mrs. Lillis Hockman, wife of J. T. Hockman, released from its tenement of clay, winged its way to its Maker and rest came to a body racked with pain. With a Christian patience, beautiful to behold, she had borne her long illness without a murmur, being cheerful and happy at all times. Her death occurred at 4:40 o'clock.
Lillis McGee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McGee, was born at Fremont, Ohio, September 27, 1856. When six years of age her father died and when twelve years of age her mother married Mr. J. A. Beiber at Fremont and the family came to this city in 1869. Mrs. Hockman's mother is the mother of Misses Mattie and Daisy Beiber.
Lillis McGee attended the schools of this city and graduated with the class of '76, this being the first class graduated from the Frankfort high school. She was a member of what was known as "The Old Crowd," a social organization of ladies in the city and at their gathering she was the life of the party.
Miss McGee had the distinction of being considered the handsomest lady ever in Frankfort and as a girl at Fremont she also claimed the honor of being the handsomest girl in the city.
She gave her hand in marriage to J. T. Hockman, of this city, the wedding taking place on September 30, 1879, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. Dr. S. B. Towne, of the Presbyterian church and the family has lived here ever since, Mr. Hockman being a member of the Clinton county bar and a practicing attorney here since 1877 until a few months ago when he became a member of the Dawes commission, holding a judgeship at Muskogee, Indian Territory.
Mrs. Hockman was a member of the Presbyterian church and in this she was a most faithful and consistent worker. To the cause of missions, both home and foreign, she gave her best efforts and also to the social side of church life was she an important factor. She was noted for her work for charity and seemed never so happy as when aiding others. Her home life was ideal and here she found her greatest pleasure in doing and serving those she loved best. As a wife and mother, she was kind, thoughtful and loving, giving the best of her life for those near and dear. It is said of her that she never had an enemy, and her kindly, sunny disposition, certainly precluded the possibility of her having an enemy. The husband and four children, Herbert M., Fannie J., John M. and J. Wilbur are left to mourn her boss. Mrs. Hockman's last illness dates from September, she being afflicted with cancer of the stomach and bowels. Throughout her long illness she maintained that cheerful sunny and bright disposition for which she was noted, never complaining, having a kind word for all. She sank into that long sleep to awaken in another and better world.
