*Obituary
Fayetteville Democrat
Thursday, December 21, 1899
Mr. John Mock, Senior, died at his home in Prairie Grove at noon Saturday of pneumonia and other complications. The funeral took place a 11 a.m. Sunday from the Methodist Church in Prairie Grove, Presiding Elder W.F. Wilson conducting the services. Deceased was born in Sevier County, Tennessee on the 23rd of October, 1821. In early manhood he came to Washington County, Arkansas, but afterwards went to Georgia where, in 1849 he was married to Miss Margaret E. Rogers. In 1851, he moved back to this county where he has ever since resided. He was prosperous in financial affairs and accumulated quite a fortune. Mr. Mock was devoutly religious and a faithful member of the Methodist Church, to which he gave freely of his times and means. He had always been a leading citizen of his community and perhaps no man in our county had a larger circle of friends. He leaves a widow and eight children to mourn the loss of an affectionate husband and kind father.
