He suffered a fracture of his skull and blood had been flowing from his ears since the accident.

He was born July 10, 1840 in Rockport, Monroe-tp. For some years he has resided in Lima.

He is survived by his widow and two sons, A. R. Rockhill and C. W. Rockhill both of Lima and five grand-children.

Prayer services will be held at the residence Thursday at 12:30 o'clock. The body will be conveyed overland to Rockport where funeral services will be held in the Methodist church a 2 0'clock. Interment will be in Rockport.
