This first obituary is not a Hockley, however, I was sure everyone would enjoy it as much as I did! It was published in a Rootsweb newsletter:
 
PRATTVILLE PROGRESS, 13 June 1902 (Independence Correspondence):
 
 "Old Billie is dead." A mule belonging to Mr. D. M. JONES near Huckabee died last Sunday, June 8th, aged 31 years. Billie has been true and faithful to his calling, he has reared seven children to be grown men and women, gave them all a fair education, made farmers of two of the boys and a doctor of one who now resides in Prattville. Billie never failed one time to eat his food in 31 years. He started his 28th crop but was called away before he completed it. The entire family mourns the loss of Billie for they say there are but few Billies like old BILLIE JONES.
