Rocke was born on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula to Sarah (née Jennings) and Andrew Rocke. He arrived in Western Australia in 1895 and settled in Fremantle, where he initially worked as a produce merchant before joining the public service. He became the assistant storekeeper at Fremantle Prison in 1910.[1] Rocke entered parliament at the 1917 state election, winning South Fremantle as an "Independent Labor" candidate by just six votes over Harry Bolton, the sitting National Labor Party member. He served a single term in parliament before suffering a heavy defeat at the 1921 election, where he polled just 9.2 percent on first preferences.[2] After leaving politics, Rocke eventually moved to New South Wales, where he worked for Sanitarium Australia. He died in Kurri Kurri in June 1963, aged 88.[1] References1. ^1 Samuel Matthew Rocke – Biographical Register of Members of the Parliament of Western Australia.
