Dr. Thomas S. Barkley, 79, whose medical practice in Rockdale spanned 53 years and a world of changes in his profession, died at 10:30 p.m. at his home here Friday night. Dr. Barkley died suddenly of a heart attack as he was preparing to go to bed at the end of a typical active day for him. Mrs. Barkley, his wife of 52 years, was with him when the end came, quickly and peacefully. "The good doctor," as he was known and called by thousands of friends from all walks of life, continued an active practice even through the day of his death.
