Bro. Valentine Brock Passes Away

Valentine “Vol” Brock

b. abt 1821, Alabama

d. 22 February 1881

Son of James L. Brock and Elizabeth Purvis

bu. Brock Cemetery, Walthall County, MS

Bro. Brock was born in Alabama about A. D. 1825, and moved with his parents to Pike County, Miss, in A. D. 1828, in which county he lived until his death. Bro. Brock was married to Miss Barthana Ginn in 1845. He united with the Silver Creek Church in August 1869. He withdrew his membership in 1873 to go into the constitution of Bogue Chito Church, of which he remained an honored member until his death, Feb. 22, A.D. 1881. Bro. Brock was a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief, having had two sons killed; and but a little while before he was called the Lord very suddenly called his companion, which added greatly to the old man's sorrow. But the Lord did not leave him long in loneliness. Although his trials were so great and his sorrow so deep, his faith was firm and unwavering. It may truly be said of him, that he has come through great tribulation and has washed his robe and made it white in the blood of the lamb. Bro. Brock has gone where no sorrow can come; his troubles are all over; his soul at rest with that Saviour he loved.
Dearest brother, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But 'tis God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled,
Then in heaven with joy to greet the,
Where no farewell tear is shed.


Valentine and Bethany have a beautiful tombstone and portrait on their FindAGrave memorial.


Valentine Brock is my 2 cousin 4 times removed.

J. S. Brock is Dr. Jeptha S. Brock, son of Valentine “Vol” Brock and Bethany Thaney Ginn.  He died 7 October 1914 in Warrenton, Washington Parish, Louisiana. Since the sheriff sale took place in February of 1915 it was most likely driven by probate proceedings to settle his estate. This will be added to my “to do” for my trip to the LDS Family History Library later this year.


Valentine “Vol” Brock is my 2nd cousin 4 times removed and his son, Jeptha, is my 3rd Cousin 3 times removed.
