Rochester, Monroe, NY Nov. 24, 1923 BERNARD FEIOCK IS STRICKEN IN STREET; LONG UNIDENTIFIED For Years Was Proprietor of Liquor Store with Notable Clientele Although Bernard FEIOCK has been known for years to hundreds of Rochesterians it was fourteen hours after he collapsed at Main and Gibbs streets that his body was identified by Bertram E. WILSON, general passenger agent of the New York State Railways, who is Mr. FEIOCK's son-in-law. Mr. FEIOCK was one of the best known business men in Rochester. For thirty-five years he conducted a liquor store at No. 135 Main street east, adjoining the Merchants Bank, and his establishment had a clientele numbering many of the prominent residents of Rochester. With the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment, Mr. FEIOCK closed out his business. At 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon Mr. FEIOCK, who was 73 years old, collapsed at Main and Gibbs street. He was taken to the Highland Hospital where he died. There was nothing to identify him. When Mr. FEIOCK did not return to his home at No. 84 South Union street, his family started a search for him. It was 4 o'clock Sunday morning, when Mr. WILSON identified the man who had collapsed on the street as Mr. FEIOCK. Mr. FEIOCK was born in Rochester and received his education in the public schools. As a young man he was employed by the Bausch & Lomb Optical Club, then a small concern. Later he embarked in business for himself. His establishment in Main street east was unique. It had a wholesale liquor department in front, and a small bar in the rear of the store, where many prom-(line has been skipped) return to his home at No. 84 South (another line missing) an exclusive line of imported cheese, and it was a treat to many well known people to stop in his store and obtain a bit of cheese and crackers, also a beverage now prohibited by Constitution restriction. The store was without elaborate fixtures, but Mr. FEIOCK had a very engaging personality and many people patronized his place. Mr. FEIOCK led a very quiet life. He never was active in politics, nor did he have any fraternity connections, but his likeable character brought him many friends. He was fond of outdoor life. One of Mr. FEIOCK's employees was John HEISEL, or "Good-natured John," who is known to hundreds of people. Mr. HEISEL fitted well into the general scheme of Mr. FEIOCK's establishment, which had an atmosphere of its own. Mr. FEIOCK leaves his wife, Mrs. Adeline HAGER FEIOCK, a daughter, Mrs. Bertram E. WILSON, and a son, William Bernard WILSON. ----<>---- FEIOCK - In this city, on November 24, 1923, Bernard FEIOCK, aged 73 years.
