The Henry County Weekly, December 23, 1892
Obituary
      Miss Margaret P. Brock, daughter of Valentine and Nancy Brock, was born 
April 20th, 1838, in Henry County, Ga., and died most triumphantly at the same 
place on the 28th day of August, 1892, at the age of 54 years, 3 months and 23 
days.
     Miss Duck, (the name by which she was familiarly known) lost her father 
while quite young, and was raised in a home of ease and plenty by her mother, 
of whom she was always a close companion, and with whom she chose to live a 
quiet and domestic life ever afterwards. being naturally possessed of an 
amiable and gentle nature, and adhering from childhood to true principles of 
Christianity, she was the friend of all who knew her. Exemplifying through all 
the trials of life the purest Christian virtues and graces, being naturally of 
rather delicate frame and constitution, she never developed into very robust 
womanhood, and during much of her life a subject of afflictions, through all of 
which she bore herself with the patience and resignation that showed her entire 
confidence in the divine power, and especially during her last days and hours 
of her beautiful life, but sad afflictions, maintaining her reason to  the last 
moment, knowing full well when death came and what it was, she gave us a 
farewell that told of triumph and victory and was more an invitation to come on 
than a farewell.
     The very high esteem in which she was held, and the spirit of bereavement 
caused by her death, was in part manifested by the very large concourse of 
sorrowing relatives and friends assembled at her funeral and burial from her 
mother’s house the next day. She leaves her aged mother, a number of relatives 
and very large circle of friends to mourn her loss, but not without hope.
