died in a short time.

She had been ill about four weeks.

  Surviving are the following children; Mrs. Herbert J. Knight of Henderson; Mrs. 
R.W. Hamel and Mrs. Helen Mundin of Richmond, Va.; Clyde Hancock of the U.S. 
Army, recently returned from overseas; William Frank Hancock, ensign in the U.S. 
Navy, stationed at pearl harbor and H. Lee Hancock of Alexandria, Va.; also 11 
grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Surviving also are a brother, Ula E. 
Wilkerson of South Hill, Va.; and five sisters, Mrs. C.O. King, and Mrs. W.G. 
Collins, both of Henderson; Mrs. W.T. Clayton of Richmond, Va.; Mrs. Clifton 
Collins and Mrs. Maynard Paynter, both of Wise.

  Mrs. Hancock was a lifelong member of the Methodist Church. Services will be 
held at the First Methodist Church in Henderson Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, in 
charge of the pastor, the Rev. H.K. King, with interment following in Elmwood 
Cemetery here. The body will lie in state at the church from 1 to 1:45 p.m. prior
