John C. Dockery.
The death of John G Dockery
at bis home in Rockingham last
Saturday morning is peculiarly
sad. Of robust frame, a strong
constitution, active, and but 41
years old, his passing appears
especially untimely.
Friends knew that Mr. Dock
ery was a very ill man, but the
fact that pneumonia had grasped
such a hold upon him was not
realized by his friends. And so
when the word came that John
Dockery had died Saturday morn
ing at 6 o'clock it was a shock.
Well and vigorous just ten days
before, attacked by influenza om
Feb. 10th, seised with pneumonia
on the 17th, and then his death
on the 21st this in brief outlines
the uncertainties of life.
The funeral was held Sunday
morning at eleven from the Bap
tist Church. The pall-bearers
were John L Everett, W. R. Land,
L. M. Williams, Ozmer L. Henry,
Fred. W. Bynum, Don L. Phillips,
J. A. McAulay and John McNair.
Rev. Bruce Benton, his pastor.
conducted the service. Mrs. Ben
ton was at the organ, and the
following quartette, Mrs. Frank
Leak, Mrs. William Covington,
Stansill Covington and Merritt
Head, sang "Ten Thousand
Times Ten Thousand," "Some
Time We'll Understand," and
"Nearer My God to Thee." The
altar was banked with flowers,
these coming from far and near.
The interment was at Old
Eastside cemetery, and the flow
ers were so numerous that many
designs were placed on the graves
of his father and brother, H. C
and Settle.
Low clouds covered the heavens
Sunday, and during the funeral
services a cold steady drizzle fell
the heavens seeming to weep
that a virile citizen had departed.
John Covington Dockery was
born March 1st, 1879, son of
Henry C. and Fannie Covington
Dockery. On Feb. 15, 1906, he
was happily married to Miss
Ellen West, of Raleigh. She with
four children survive; they are:
Nicholas West, John C. Jr., Elea
nor West and Betsy Sairfax.
Mrs. Dockery and the four chil
dren were sick with flu at the
same time that Mr. Dockery was
ill; but she and they are rapidly,
recovering now.
Also surviving htm are his sis
ter, Mrs. Nettie Dockery Hay
Wood, of Raleigh; his step-mother,
Mrs. H. C. Dockery, and four
half-brothersand sisters-William
and Henry Dockery, Mrs. C. K.
Waddill and Miss Sarah Lilly
Dockery.
He was a director in the Bank
of Pee Dee, a member of the city
school trustees and a deaccniri
the Baptist church, to which he
united when a youth; he was also
Ueasurer of the Baptist church,
and was President of the Dock-ery-McNair
Clothing Co.
That John Dockery was a force
for progress in Richmond county,
every one who at all knew the
man, must admit. He and his
associates in the Dockery-Allen
Co., (of which he was the prime
organizer) were engaged in the
cultivation of several thousand
acres of land; besides this, the
company operates a large store,
big gin, fertilizer fmixing plant
and ice plant. In the past sever
al months he had expanded still
further, buying large I property
interests between Rock'gham and
Hoffman. But it was not as a
large property owner and de
veloper that John Dockery is
alone known; he was a forward
looking citizen, a liberal contribu
tor to church and charity and a
man who had ideals and who held
his course true.- John Dockery
will be missed by hundreds of
people in Richmond county.
