Dewitt G. Brock, born 9 November 1890, was the last born child of James Paul Brock and his wife Carrie Josephine Smith Brock. James Paul and Carrie were married 2 September 1869 and Dewitt was their 9th child consisting of 7 sons and 2 daughters.
I was unable to find an obituary so it is not known what caused this young child to pass away at the age of seven.
Dewitt was buried in the Brock cemetery where his father is buried also. His mother was interred in the Pine Grove Baptist Church Cemetery.
Dewitt is my 2nd cousin 3 times removed.
Tombstones of young children are sad for many reasons. I imagine the grief of the parents. I wonder what directions their lives could have gone if they had been given more years. I hope for someone like you to keep their names alive.
