Old Time Resident is Dead. Funeral of Al Hockett Held at Armington This Morning--Burial in Pleasant View
Al Hockett, of Barker, died at his home Sunday night, the cause of death being given as heart disease. Mr. Hockett was probably as well known as any man in Cascade county, having lived in this section for nearly 30 years, and had followed the various occupations as rancher, hotel keeper and saloon keeper during his entire residence here.
He was a native of Iowa, if we remember rightly, and came to the Black Hills in the seventies during the days of the gold stampede to that country. From there he drifted over the west, spending some time in Arizona, Colorado and Wyoming, finally coming to Cascade county in 1887, since which time he had been a resident of this county.
In 1891 he went to Barker and opened a saloon remaining during the boom days of the camp. From there he went to Stanford where he conducted a hotel and also bought a ranch near Kibby which he operated for several years. For a time he was located in Armington later going to Monarch and from there he went to Barker about four years ago and lived there until his death.
He leaves a wife and two children by a former marriage.
Mr. Hockett, a fine figure of a man, typified the spirit of a vanishing era of the west. That era when law and moral force depended upon the strong arm of the individual rather than on the machinery of the law, an era of young men and restless adventurers whose energy and ambitions carried them through obstacles and hardships unknown to the present generation. Through this environment Mr. Hockett lived the best part of his life, always carrying a cheerful, optimistic nature with an unbounded faith in the future and a supreme loyalty to the county and state of his adoption. Careless and free handed in money matters he leaves a wide circle of friends to mourn his death.
The funeral was held at Armington this morning, interment being made in Pleasant View cemetery. The funeral was largely attended.
