Notes:
| From an obituary clipping in an old family scrapbook (from Rebecca Aileen COCKRILL): | ||||
| Mr. Cockrill was engaged in breaking a colt
when he was injured. The animal was owned by his brother-in-law and had only
been driven once when Mr. Cockrill attempted to drive it. The road on which he
was breaking the animal was very narrow. Some little girls were in the road and in order to escape them the horse made a plunge down an embankment a distance of 130 feet. Mr. Cockrill was thrown as the horse plunged and went down the embankment striking a rock and fracturing his skull and dislocating his shoulder. He was thrown into a pool of water and had not assistance been at hand immediately he would have drowned. He was carried to the home of his sister and medical aid summoned. The horse and vehicle were not damaged. The harness, however, was broken. Three physicians were in attendance on the case but to no avail, he did not gain consciousness and died without pain. The parents and relatives are prostrated over the sad ending of the beloved son. Dr. Cockrill is seriously ill, having worried so over his son. Jim Cockrill, as he was known among his friends was born in Bloomfield and was 24 years old. He was a son of Dr. and Mrs. Bruce Cockrill, brother of W. A. Cockrill, Mrs. Laura McCready, Obe, Maggie, Robert, George, Larkin and Logan Cockrill. Most of his life was spent in Bloomfield. For some time he filled a position in Petaluma where he was well and favorably known. For some time he had filled a position with the North Shore railroad as carpenter. He was a member of the Bloomfield Odd Fellows and was prominent in business and fraternal circles. He was a most estimable young man and was popular in Western Sonoma, where his family are prominent pioneer residents. Deceased had a bright future before him and had everything to live for. The bereaved relatives have the deepest sympathy of their friends in their deep bereavement. The funeral will take place Tuesday morning from the home of Mr. and Mrs. McCready, leaving Bodega at 10 o’clock. The funeral will be under the auspices of the Odd Fellows. In the family plot in the quaint country cemetery in Bloomfield, the beloved one will be tenderly laid to rest until time shall be no more. |
