The decedent is survived by his daughter, Miss Rena Rockwell, a teacher at the Elmira Academy; a niece, Miss Edna Mulford, who made her home at the Rockwell residence; two brothers, Joseph Rockwell of Lawrenceville, and John Rockwell of Webster, Wis., and four sisters, Mrs. C.H. Blanchard of Tioga, Mrs. Chas. Seeley of Lawrenceville, Mrs. Robert Clark of Santa Paula, Calif., and Mrs. George Mitchell of Warren. In the winter 1959-60 he came to Elmira, his first occupation being the driving of a milk wagon, but this employment was only temporary. He was intensely interested in the presidential campaign of 1860, although not old enough to vote. In the fall of that year he became bookkeeper for the firm of Stuart & Ufford, prominent merchants, but in the spring of 1861, when the war broke out, at the first war meeting in the village held in Concert hall, he was the third man to enlist in the organization that afterwards became the 23rd Regiment. He served for the full term of his enlistment as private. For five years after his return from the front, Mr. Rockwell was engaged in clerking in the express business, and in teaching in the neighborhood of his old home. All this time his attention had been drawn toward the practice of law, and he had pursued his studies toward that end as he was able. - Wellsboro Agitator, December 18, 1918 [Note- Born 31 May 1840 Lawrenceville, Tioga County PA]
