Van Brocklin, Martin

North Platte Telegraph, 7 March 1896

Martin Van Brocklin, who has been in the city several weeks receiving medical treatment, died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. A.D. Orr, at 9:45 last evening. Mr. Van Brocklin was a highly respected citizen of this county, having resided near Elizabeth post office a good many years. He was well known in this city and county and was looked upon by all his acquaintances as a man of honor, and integrity. The community mourns the loss of a good citizen, and he will be greatly missed in the south part of the county where he was looked upon as the adviser, counselor and friend of all of his neighbors.
