UNKNOWN PAPER - 15 OCTOBER 1945 CLARENCE J. COCK - Central New Annan - Early Thursday morning, Oct. 4, the angel of Death visited our community and called to his Heavenly Home, Clarence J. COCK at the age of 72 years. Although he had been in failing for the past few years, his death came suddenly. The dread disease of diabetes had been working in his system for some time, and two days before his death he went into a coma, from which he never regained consciousness. For the past years he has been the obliging merchant of New Annan. He was also a wonderful gardener and lover of flowers, and many times the churches and other meeting places were made lovely by the work of his hands. His bass voice will be missed in the church choirs, where his seat was never vacant as long as his health permitted him to attend. He will be greatly missed in the community where his place will be hard to fill, and in the home where he was a kind husband and father. It may well be said of him, "He hath done what he could". The funeral service attended by a large circle of relatives, friends, and neighbors, was held in the Central New Annan Church on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 6th at 2:00 p.m. The service was conducted by his pastor Rev. J.C. LEADBEATER, assisted by Lic. G.C. HADLEY and Rev. J. DAVIDSON of Springhill. The choir sang favorites of the deceased; The Lord's My Shepherd, The Golden Key, Will the Circle be Unbroken, We are Going Down the Valley. The Pall bearers were: George MacNUTT, Stirling MacNUTT, Carl BELL, Tommy COCK, Ted WILSON, and Hedley WILSON. In the immediate family there are left to mourn their loss, one daughter Dorothy, Mrs. Harold TUCKER, of Oliver; five sons, Arnold, Dan, and Randall of Central New Annan, Bell of Tatamagouche, and James of Ontario and one brother Albert COCK of East New Annan. A sister Mrs. J.D. WILSON passed away a few years ago. The floral tributes were many and beautiful testifying to the esteem in which the deceased was held. Interment was in the family lot in the Tatamagouche Mountain Cemetery.
