Ned Mock


Ned Mock was born deaf. He was taken care of by his father Arthur before his death. Then he stayed with his brother Bobby Mock of Hampton. He is the son of Arthur B. Mock and Sarah Daisey Smith/Mock. My mother says he would come to stay with us too, cause he loved his nephew Thomas (my father) His sister was Ethel Mae Mock/ Crapse. Ned was never married. When Bobby his brother got ill, he had to put Ned in old folks home in Williston, SC. His daddy Arthur Ben Mock never wanted him to be put in a home. NedĀ  was born in Jasper County, SC. Uncle Ned always wore overalls, I wonder if that is where my Daddy Thomas Crapse Neds' nephew gets it from. Ned was buried in Grimes Cemetery in Grays, Jasper Co., SC. There is no headstone to mark his grave. The picture here was taken behind the railroad that runs thru HamptonĀ  right at the end of main street in Hampton. The date is Aug. 1960.
