THE FT. GAINES SENTINEL, APRIL 5, 1895
JUDGE R.R. BLOCKER DIED AT HIS HOME IN BLUFFTON LAST MONDAY NIGHT.  HE WAS A 
NATIVE OF THIS COUNTY AND WAS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS A RESIDENT OF FT. GAINES, 
HAVING PRACTICED LAW HERE UNTIL HIS ELECTION TO THE OFFICE OF ORDINARY WHICH 
OFFICE HE FILLED FOR SEVERAL TERMS.  SOME TIME AFTER HIS REMOVAL TO BLUFFTON A 
SMALL ULCER APPEARED ON HIS FACE, WHICH PROVED TO BE A CANCER AND CONTINUED TO 
GROW UNTIL IT ALMOST COVERED ONE WHOLE SIDE OF THE FACE AND NECK.  HE WAS 
TREATED BY SEVERAL SPECIALISTS AND EMINENT PHYSICIANS BUT NONE SUCCEEDED IN 
GIVING HIM MORE THAN TEMPORARY RELIEF.  THE DECEASED LEAVES A WIFE AND FOUR 
CHILDREN TO WHOM THE SENTINEL RESPECTFULLY TENDERS ITS SINCERE CONDOLENCE.
