Dr. LESLIE C. BROCK 

Suffolk, May 24 - Dr. Leslie C. Brock, 64, one of the leading physicians of 
Tidewater, native of Isle of Wight County, and for the past twenty-two years 
Mayor of the town of Smithfield, in Isle of Wight died this afternoon,

the son of the late Robert Brock, also a native of Isle of Wight.  He had 
practiced medicine in Smithfield for the past thirty years, and the mute 
evidence of his popularity in his town was evidenced by his re-election as 
Mayor for twenty-two successive years.  He was a member of the Baptist 
church, and of Smithfield Lodge No 18, A.F. & A.M.

   He was active in all that related to the growth and progress of his 
community, and was a member of the Virginia Medical association he is survived 
by his widow, who was Miss Lelia Minton, and a brother, C.C. Brock of Newport 
News.  Funeral services will be held on Thursday morning at 11 o'clock at the 
Smithfield Baptist church.  Interment will be made in Ivy Hill Cemetery.
