Willis Brock, 23 years of age, son of W. J. Brock, a prominent and well known citizen of near Shell Knob, died early Sunday morning of typhoid fever. Willis, was at the time of taking sick, engaged in teaching the Fairview school near Shell Knob. His illness from the beginning became very serious and on account of his frail constitution he gradually gave way to the disease after nine days sickness. Willis was an industrious young man with an ambition to live a life of usefulness. He possessed those traits of character that would have rounded out a useful life and he had been permitted to live. Interment was made at the Painter Cemetery Sunday afternoon following short funeral services conducted at the grave by Rev. Cottrell. |
