Julian Klock, the Shepherd of the Hills, as he was christened by Rev. Clarence Eugene Sutton, was born on Bonny Hill in the Klock homestead July 11, 1871. He was the son of Nelson and Irene Klock, loyal members and officials in the Methodist Episcopal church for a generation. Julian received his education in the Haverling Academy at Bath, then took the Traveling Preacher's course as prescribed by the Methodist discipline and became a Local Deacon and Local Elder in the church, but he never united with the conference as an active member. For over thirty-years he served Coss Corners, Steuben County, Hornell District and ministered to that group and the rural community in such a manner that he was not only known as the Shepherd of the Hills but proved himself as a real Shepherd to his entire constituency. He brought joy to the homes he visited in his regular pastoral work and comfort to the families where sorrow and death had entered. He served all. He was also a farmer. With his brother, Melvin, he worked on the farm whenever needed. He was an honorary member of the Steuben County Agricultural Society and the Bath Grange. A talented artist, he painted landscapes and winter scenes which won for him numerous blue ribbon awards at the county fair. His paintings are in nearly every home in the parish he served. The writer knew Julian well. He was not just like everyone else, he was Julian Klock. He never married but the Church was his bride and its members and friends his family. He loved them all. Julian Klock died in Bath Memorial Hospital, September 28, 1949, and was buried from his church the afternoon of October 1. The church was packed to the doors. The beautiful flowers in abundance gave evidence of appreciation for his years of faithful and active service to the community. The services were in charge of the writer who was assisted by Rev. Kenmore Haight, Rev. Willis Stackhouse and Rev. Edwin M. Tilt. The interment was made in Nondaga Cemetery in Bath.
