Son of Samuel & Clara (Overhall) Horrocks
• RE: Albert Horrocks
His correct year of birth was located in their bible, and verified by several of his sisters and aunts. They all related a story to myself (to include my grandfather Albert) that he did not like to be born in 1898 and he asked his mother, Clara Roxanne Overhall Breece Horrocks 1871-1960 if he could change it to 1900. My mother, Maxine, purchased the headstone and they got it wrong.
Also, my Uncle Jack Horrocks was upset that they also got wrong his request to place Albert's nickname of Blackie in (Blackie) which made it look like his actual name and he really had no middle name.
