• Notes

  David Bock, "was born February 19th, 1824. He is married to Catharine Jones. They reside in Berlin" Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. _________________________________________ Preston News: Two more cases of smallpox have been discovered in Preston. Mr. Bock, of Wilmot Township, uncle of Miss Rosenberger, who had been visiting at the home of John Rosenberger prior to the discovery of the Kate Rosenberger case, has developed the disease. He had left and gone to the home of Jacob Rosenberger, Queen Street, a brother of Miss Katie Rosenberger. They were quarantined and the case appeared on Saturday. Mr. Bock was taken to John Rosenberger's house, where the first case is. This morning we were informed that Miss Rosenberger's father, John Rosenberger, had become a victim of the disease. In connection with these cases of the disease, a strange thing occurred on Saturday afternoon, when Mr. John Rosenberger's son, Joseph, who resides near the hop yards, and who has been quarantined for some time, developed a sort of dementic, and got away from the house. Not returning in the evening, his wife became concerned and revealed her fears to some friends. The fire alarm was rung and a search was instituted, which lasted til midnight. Just as the friends were about despairing of finding the missing man, he was discovered sitting down at the edge of the river, apparently unconscious of the bitter cold. When found, his hands and feet were frozen. He is, however, quite well today. GALT WEEKLY REFORMER - 22 Jan 1903 _________________________ Preston News: The death occurred this morning of Mr. Bock, of Wilmot Township, aged 79 years, at the home of his sister, Mrs. John Rosenberger, Preston, after a week's illness.
