DEATH OF GUSTAVE BLOCH
A Good Man Removed From Our Midst

Gustav Bloch was born Dec. 25, 1852, at Kamionke, Posen, Germany. At the age of 19 he emigrated to America and first settled in the state of Wisconsin. Soon, however, he moved to Nebraska and first lived near Columbus then removed to Washington county. Here in the year 1876 he got married to Miss Emilie Schievelbein. This union was blessed with seven children, two sons and five daughters of which the youngest Clara, died one and one half years ago. In 1881 he moved to Gosper county and settled ten miles north of Arapahoe. On May 10th, he suffered a stroke of paralysis from which he never fully recovered, being unconscious the last few weeks. He died Sept. 8th and was buried Sept. 10th, from the German Lutheran [Immanuel] church, of which he was one of the founders. His age was 55 years, 8 months and 13 days.

Gustave Bloch was an industrious man giving close attention to his own affairs which consequently were prosperous. He was well liked by his neighbors and highly respected by all the people of his acquaintance in Arapahoe and vicinity.

The funeral service was held by Rev. Bader in the presence of a large attendance of sorrowing relatives, neighbors and friends. In his death the community suffers the loss of a good man.
