The funeral was held from the late residence, two miles west of the city, on yesterday afternoon at 1:30, Rev. B. Ferrell conducting the services. Interment took place in the Iowa Township Cemetery. Besides the wife, the deceased leaves eight grown up children: four, sons and four daughters, to mourn his departure. They are Grant and John T., Manning; Alfred W., Kearney Nebraska; A.L., Red Oak; and Louisa Lathrop and Jennie Weston, Manning; Effie Somers, Summit, S.D., and Ruth Dales, Botna. With the exceptions of two, A.L. and A. W. Hockett, they were all present at the funeral. In the death of this man, the community loses one of its best and most honored citizens. William B. Hockett was born in the county of Randolph, Indiana, on the 12th day of September 1824, of Quaker parents. In the summer of 1834, with his parents, he crossed the Mississippi River into Iowa, settling down in what is now Henry County. Here he grew to manhood, his only associates in his younger days being Indian children. He visited Des Moines before the first government fort was built, and made a trip through Northwest Iowa, while that section was wilderness. He was very fond of hunting and made frequent trips, in those days, for that purpose. In 1855, Mr. Hockett moved to Marshall County, being one among the very few first settlers there. In 1873, he came to this vicinity and settled down upon a farm, two miles west of where a prosperous city now stands, where he continued to abide up till the time of his death on last Wednesday. During his sojourn in Henry County, Mr. Hockett was married to Susannah Whittaker, a native of Ohio, who survives him. Donated information by ADD - FAG. ∼HACKETT, W.
