EARLY DAY CITY MARSHALL IS DEAD
Julius Block, Who Served City in 1865, Called
WAS PIONEER TAILOR
Julius Block, a pioneer resident and early day business man of this city who conducted one of the first tailoring establishments here and served as city marshal and undersheriff, is dead at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Arthur Otto, N. Eleventh Street, aged 84 years. Mr. Block's death occurred Friday night and resulted from infirmities incident to old age. The funeral will be held from the Otto home Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Block's death removes another from the fast depleting ranks of pioneers of the city and emphasizes anew the near approach of the day when the last of the sturdy men who blazed the way to progress of the present day Manitowoc, will have responded to the last summons in life. When Mr. Block came to this city, it was a hamlet of homes, surrounded by dense forests and with others of his day assisted in building up the city which has come to be recognized as one of the first in Wisconsin.
For many years Mr. Block followed his business as a tailor and when forced to retire because of ill health and age, he conducted a small candy store on Washington Street, closing his store after the death of his wife eighteen months ago. Since the death of his wife, Mr. Black had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Otto, who with one son, P.A. Block of LaCrosse are the only survivors.
Mr. Block was one of the early day officiates of the city and county, serving as village marshal for several years in 1865 and later was appointed under sheriff during the administration of Sheriff Whittenburg and P. Mulholland. He was active in the work of building up the city in that day and in later life retained the esteem and friendship of a large circle of friends. Mr. Block had been in failing health for several years.
