Described in the Australian Dictionary of Biography: “Grey-haired and keen-eyed, with wild eye-brows and bristling moustache above an old-fashioned stovepipe collar, Nock was widely known to farmers (the ‘Cockies’ Patron Saint’) and sought out on agricultural issues. A vigorous and persistent advocate for rural interests, always well-armed with figures, Nock was an effective watchdog over various tariffs.”

If you are a resident of the Virginia Shore or just visiting, stop in to the Eastern Shore of Virginia Historical Society in Onancock, Virginia in the county of Accomack. It is definitely worth it!

Have to mention my Aunt Mary Reed {she’s a Nock too}. She served honorably in the US ARMY during World War II. She retired a Captain. She was interned here, at The Baltimore National Cemetery.
