Victim of the "Mast Hope" disaster.
Caught by the legs in the crushed timbers of the car in which he was sitting, although perfectly conscious and fully aware of his impending fate, he lifted his voice in prayer, and calmly met the devouring flame.
Mr. Hallock was a native of Brockhaven, Long Island, and was at the time of his death, 65 years of age. His original profession was that of a teacher.
Preaching at first only occasionally, he finally ceased to teach, and gave himself wholly to the work of the ministry.
His settlements were in Stamford and New Haven, Connecticut, with the Fifth Society, now extinct, in New York City, in Mohawk, New York, and perhaps other places.
For a season he was associated with Rev. Henry Lyon, deceased, in the New York agency of the "Christian Messenger," and in the sale and publication of Universalist books. For some twelve years he had seldom attempted to preach.
Mr. Hallock was a simple-hearted, meek, Christian man. He was a good, correct, logical writer; but his delivery was not sufficiently energetic, perhaps owing to extreme diffidence, to win for him a favorable reputation as a preacher.
But those who met him face to face knew his moral worth, and yielded him cordial esteem. For some years his energies were paralyzed, through adverse circumstances; but his soul rallied in all its force, under the fiery trial to which he was subjected.
Resigning himself to his sad fate, after unavailing efforts for his deliverance, he urged his friends to leave him, and calmly gave his spirit into the hands of the Father.
