Steuben-Republican      March 1958

        CLYDE ALLEN POCOCK, was born in Steuben County, October 12, 1880, and
passed away in the Cameron Hospital in Angola on March 14, 1958, at the age
of 77 years.  He had been in poor health since the death of his wife in
December, 1955.  He was married to Cleo Flossie Salander on March 27, 1907,
and lived on their farm near Nevada Mills.
        Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Fern Roose, of North Hollywood,
California, and Mrs. June DeVolder, of Lake Gage; his daughter, Mrs. Cleo
Dannenberg, of Dearborn, Michigan, preceded him in death; two sons, Louis,
of Richmond, and Carl of near Angola; a sister, Mrs. Edith Kuhl, of Fort
Wayne, and a brother Ralph, of Elkhart; three half sisters, Mrs. Bertha
Pierce, of near Angola, Mrs. Edna McKenzie, of Sturgis, Michigan and Mrs.
Wava Fair, near Bronson, Michigan, two half brothers, Robert, of South
Bend, and Harold, near Angola; also nine grand-children.
        He endured many hardships during the past fifty years and many deep
disappointments, but was never known to shrink from his duties or complain
of his burdens.  He was a great lover of nature and it was not uncommon for
him to walk many miles over his farm and through the woodlands.  In later
years he became especially fond of the many beautiful wonders of nature,
such as autumn leaves or the playful squirrels in his yard.
        Services were held in the Klink Funeral Home in Angola on Sunday afternoon
at two o'clock, with the Rev. Walter W. Throop officiating.  Burial was in
Jamestown Cemetery.
