Death of Milton Hockett
Passed Away at His Home at Grand Junction Colo., Sunday Morning.
Carl Hockett of this city received the sad news yesterday of his father, Milton Hockett, which occurred at Grand Junction, Colo., Sunday morning at 1:45 o'clock from heart failure. The remains will be brought to this city for burial and are expected to reach here tomorrow afternoon on the Missouri Pacific passenger at 4:35. The funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the M.E. church.
Mr. Hockett was a prominent business man in this city for a number of years, having come here with his father, P.V. Hockett, in the early eighties. He is survived by his wife and three children. Two of his children, Zelma and Harold, are still living at home and Carl lives in this city. He is also survived by three sisters and five brothers, all of whom will be here for the funeral.
About three years ago Mr. Hockett removed his family to Grand Junction, where he purchased a fruit farm. At the time he was suffering from a lung trouble and it was thought the climate would prove beneficial. The fruit farm has been a profitable venture from a financial standpoint but the change in climate proved detrimental to Mr. Hockett's health and he has never felt well since locating there.
