NANCY ROCK
Mrs. Nancy Rock died at 1:15 o'clock this morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
James Fay, who lives near Number Ten, her demise being due to the infirmities of age. She
was born in Ohio February 14, 1827, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Coon. She
came to this county with her parents when she was three years old. Her first marriage was
to David Henderson and to this union were born two sons, one of whom survives. Her second
marriage was to James Rock and to this union were born two daughters, one of whom died in
infancy. Mr. Rock died twenty-one years ago. Mrs. Rock was a woman of noble character, was
a true friend and kind neighbor. She leaves seven grandchildren. The funeral will be held
