Drew Brock slipped from the fast thinning ranks of the Gray on August 13 1908, at Stokes, Tenn., in his sixty-eighth year. He was born in Henderson County, Tenn., February 6 1840.

In 1862 Comrade Brock joined Company L of the 6th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. He made a good soldier, and was always at his post of duty. He was once captured in the charge at Chickamauga, but later made his escape and rejoined his command. He was in the Battle of Murfreesboro and Missionary Ridge. He followed Bragg in his campaign through Kentucky, and was in the Battle of Perryville. He was in many other minor engagements almost throughout the war. After his return from the army he located at Stokes, Dyer County, Tennessee, where he reared a large family of intelligent children. He was a man of a kind and generous nature, a joyful, sunny disposition, and was well liked by all who knew him. He was a devout Christian, and was as true to his Church and his God as he was in the field of battle. He was my messmate and one of the best friends I ever had.
