Mrs. Hancock was a devoted Christian, being a life member of the First Presbyterian church of Houston, which her father had helped to found. She was born in the old Bagby block, where the new city library is being constructed.

He was among Houston's first cotton factors, for many years represented the Town company in the sale of city property, was one of the founders of the First National bank and at the time of his death was president of the Direct Navigation company. The funeral will be held at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Berleth, 112 Hawthorne street, at 3 p.m. Tuesday. Rev. William States Jacobs officiating. Burial will be in Glenwood cemetery.
