Both parents died early leaving him and a sister to be taken care of by relatives. He was received into the home of George Davis, lived there until about the age of twenty-one then he went to live in the home of his cousin, Barney Daniels. [note to the reader, both cousins are on his maternal side of the family]. He was united in marriage with Mittie Sutton on April 25, 1928, into which they set up a Christian home. Three children came to bless their home. These are J.W., Jr., William Earl, and Sue Ellen Brock. Wesley was a noble character, possessing many of the finest qualities to be found in the human family. He was a good and loving husband and father. A kind and helpful friend and a faithful steward in his church. He was a person who was loved and respected by his neighbors, in the circle of his acquaintance, and was a valued employee in the company he served so faithfully for many years. He was highly esteemed which was proven by the large attendance at his funeral service and the many and beautiful floral tributes. We shall miss him in his accustomed places but we would not question the divine wisdom of our Heavenly Father, who saw fit to remove him suddenly from this earthly sphere on July 18, 1958. May we profit from his life and example, and so live by faith in Christ that we may look forward to meeting him again in the Great Beyond. Where there will be no more sorrow or separation. Poem: There is a land of pure delight Where saints immortal reign Infinite day excludes the night and pleasure banish pain There everlasting spring abides And never withering flowers Death like a narrow seas divides That heavenly land from ours Written by Olive Crow Hart, Daughter of Margurite McClenny Crow Transcribed by Adrienne Smith Stanley, Great granddaughter of B.L. and Minnie McClenny Sutton WWI SERVICE: Pvt John W. Brock sailed to & from France aboard the ships Siboney & Rotterdam with the 320th Ambulance Company of the 305th Sanitary Train. Soldiers of the 305th Sanitary Train of the 80th Division sailed to France for WWI on several ships, USS Mercury, USS Siboney, or USS Huron from Newport News & Norfolk, Virginia, in May, 1918. The Sanitary Train consisted of the 317, 318, 319, and 320th Ambulance Companies, the 317, 318, 319, and 320th Field Hospitals, and the 305th Sanitary Train Headquarters. The sanitary train returned to Hoboken, New Jersey, on the USS Rotterdam from Brest, France. The soldiers boarded the ship on May 20, 1919 in Brest France and arrived in Hoboken on May 31, 1919. Once ashore they were given refreshments by welfare organizations. They proceeded to Jersey City by ferry and then by passenger coaches to Camp Dix, New Jersey, for out-processing. All their possessions were sterilized in a steam sterilizer which was very effective. Any thing leather shrunk to a much smaller size. Sanitary Train was decommissioned on Jun 9, 1919.
