He died on 24 Nov 1917 at the age of 64 in Charlotte, Mecklenburg, North Carolina. Cause of death was shown to be nephritis (kidney failure). The informant on his NC death certificate was Peter Haley Brock. 

Peter Haley was William’s 1^st Cousin once removed. The information on his death certificate is incorrect. Squire H. Brock was never married to a Miss White. His first and only wife was Rachel Parker.⁴
