ERNEST LEE ROCK

   Ernest Lee Rock, age 38, died  Saturday morning, June 6, at Sarah Leigh 
Hospital, Norfolk, after a brief illness.

   Mr. Rock was a native of Bristol, Virginia, moving to Boykins about 18 years 
ago where he was connected with the C.B. Rock Motor Co.  He was the son of Mr.

who was Miss Helen Gray; one son, Elmo Rock; four sisters, Mrs. M.W. Goodson and 
Mrs. W.B. Clark of Bristol, Mrs. Don Draper and Mrs. L.P. McCoy of Alexandria; 
four brothers, C.B. Rock of Boykins, Herbert and Richard Rock of Bristol and 
Burrus Rock of Benhams. Mr. Rock was a member of the Methodist Church in Bristol 
but since living in Boykins attended the Baptist Church. He was a devoted father 
and husband.

   Funeral services were conducted from the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. 
Helen Gray Saturday evening, Rev. F.B. Handley and Rev. J.L. Kibler officiating. 
Music was furnished by the choirs of the Boykins churches.

   Sunday the body was taken to Bristol for interment accompanied by Mr. and

   The floral designs were many and beautiful.
