Dock was a slave owned by the Edwards family. He was an excellent horse keeper as noted in the Anson Times upon his death.
Old Uncle Dock Edwards, formerly a slave belonging to Mr. Allen Edwards of Burnsville township, Anson county, is living in the same cabin, near the Union and Anson county line, he was living in when the slaves were freed and has been living in that same cabin since before the civil war. Uncle Dock's wife died about two months ago and since that time he has been living alone in his cabin. We learned that the former owner of this old colored man gave him a parcel of land, on which his little home is situated.
