Brockman - Obit Shelbyville Democrat, Tuesday, April 16, 1912, pg 1 (Shelbyville, IN) William Brockman Dead ________________ Passed Away at Home Near Jolity Monday Afternoon a Victim of Pnuemonia - Suffered from Paralysis Three Years Ago. __________________ William Brockman, one of the pioneers of the Jolity community, died at his home three-quarters of a mile north of that place yesterday afternoon at two o'clock following an attack of pnuemonia from which he had been suffering for the past few days. Mr. Brockman was already in weakened condition from old age and from a stroke of paralysis he had suffered about three years ago and his death was not unexpected. He was in his eighty-second year. He is survived by his aged wife and three children. The children are Mrs. Nathan Jones, Mrs. Frank M. Sandefur, and Tandy Brockman, all of the Jolity community. Two other children passed away several years ago. There are six surviving grandchildren. Stephen Brockman, of Marietta, the well-known merchant, is a nephew of the deceased. Mr. Brockman had been a successful farmer and was well known all over the eastern part of Johnson county and the western part of Shelby county. He was a member of the Methodist Protestant church at Jolity and had been active in the work of the church for the past half a century. The funeral services will be held at the church at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the Rev. L. Coomer officiating, and the interment will be made in the Brockman cemetery.

See the Brockman Scrapbook, page 78, for his children. 3. He was one of the oldest and best known residents of the Jollity neighborhood. The funeral services for William was held at the Jollity Methodist Protestant Church. 4. The following has been copied from a transcription made by Cheryl Zufall Parker (http://www.rootsweb.com/~injohnson/biosketch/ blueriver/brockman.txt). "W.T. Brockman-Landy [Tandy] Brockman, father of the subject of this sketch, was a native of Virginia, and grew to manhood in Kentucky, having been taken to the latter state when but four years old. He married in Kentucky, Martha Shipp, and later moved to Shelby County, Ind., settling in the woods, and for some years lived the rugged life of the pioneer. He was one of the early settlers of Shelby, and at the time of his arrival [his] nearest neighbors were the Indians, with whom he appears to have been upon terms of greatest friendship. He made a valuable farm, and became a leading citizen of the community in which he resided. Mrs. Brockman died at the age of sixty-four; she was the mother of twelve children, seven of whom are now living. Until a year within his death, Mr. Brockman lived on his home place, con- sisting of 320 acres of land, but later moved to Edinburg, and died in that town at the advanced age of seventy-two. He was an active member of the Methodist Protestant Church, a great temperance worker and in early life supported the principles of the Whig party. W.T. Brockman was born and reared in Shelby County and early chose the farmer's vocation for his life work. His educational training was confined to a few months' attendance each year in the common schools, but by observation he has become the possessor of a fund of valuable practical knowledge. December 22, 1852, he married Martha, daughter of William and Phoebe (Coons) Lewis, of Shelby County, the parents natives of Virginia. Shortly after his marriage, Mr. Brockman purchased his present farm in Johnson County, which lies in sight of the old home place, where the years of his youth and early manhood were passed. He now owns one of the most valuable and attractive farms in Blue River Township, and is justly considered one of the leading citizens of the community which he resides. Mr. and Mrs. Brockman are the parents of six children, four living, viz.: Sarah C., Mary J., [T]andy and Clara E. The deceased children are: Ella O. and Maggie . Mr. Brockman is a republican in politics, and with his wife belongs to the Methodist Protestant Church." SOURCES INCLUDE: Brockman, William E. 1952.
