SOUTHPORT
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)
September 21
One of our local medical men, Dr. Treverne Hockin, died on Saturday, much to the regret of the whole of the inhabitants of Southport. The deceased gentleman had won the confidence of the public by the thorough knowledge of his profession, which he manifestly possessed; he was esteemed for his high moral tone; and he was much liked by all classes for the kindliness of his disposition and the urbanity which he displayed alike to rich and poor. He had been ailing for some time, so that his death could hardly be called a surprise. He was a native of Cornwall, and settled in Southport some years since, being attracted to it by the hope of re-establishing his health, which was somewhat delicate. A large number of residents attended the funeral.
