Mr. Rock enjoyed as wide acquaintance perhaps as any man in Greenfield. He was born in this county, the son of Charles and Lucinda Rock, of Jackson township.

Afterward he engaged with his father in the general merchandise business in Charlottesville and they erected the brick building at the corner of Main street.
He never took to farming, but assisted his father in his many interests, which included buying horses, mules and cattle. He had often told of his experiences of those times in taking stock to and from Indianapolis.
His younger brother, Charles M. Rock, was associated with him in various enterprises in Charlottesville. They organized the Morristown Gas Company, drilled a number of wells and supplied that town with gas.

Mr. Rock was a Republican in politics and had always been active in the interest of the Republican party. He had been honored twice by election as joint representative from Marion and Hancock counties, in 1902 defeating Chalmers Brown for the nomination in one of the closest contests in the history of delegate conventions.
He was Chairman of the Republican county committee in 1906 and 1908. He was engrossing clerk in the Legislature several sessions. He was a beautiful writer and his books and records were like plate script.

Rogers, pastor of the Christian church. The music was by Dr. J. W. Sparks, Frank Rhoadarmer, Sidney Walker and Howard Branham. Hiram Eshelman was the undertaker in charge.

Veteran Horseman Who Rode Horse
back From This County to Kansas
City Fifty Years Ago.
Andy F. Yetter one of the oldest horseman of Hancock county was in Greenfield Friday. When asked how long he had been in the horse business, he said: "All my life." Mr. Yetter was born in Henry county.
When a very young man in 1859 he rode on horseback from this section of Indiana to Kansas City. He rode "Young Taylor" by Pilot Junior, a young racing bred stallion all the way.
Part of the country was so thinly settled at that time that he traveled all day and would pass scarcely one house of a settler. The west was so much disturbed at that time on account of the political conditions which preceded the Civil War that Mr. Yetter returned to Indiana and settled in Hancock county. Since that time he has given most of his time to breeding, raising and developing horses, and has been remarkably successful. He has owned some of the best race bred horses in the country and has developed and sold some high priced horses. He purchased a young race horse by Shirley Boy at Cambridge City last week.
