Blood poisoning had set in and he was taken to the Sacred Heart hospital, where he died Thursday. Mr. Bock was born in Remsen on January 1, 1887, and has lived in Plymouth county all his life. He was a farmer south of Remsen. The body was shipped to Remsen for burial. ? Le Mars Globe Post, Monday, March 24, 1924, page 1. Also ? INJURY TO HEAD PROVES FATAL. YOUNG FARMER SUCCUMBS TO BLOOD POISONING FOLLOWING SLIGHT ACCIDENT. Carl Bock, of Henry township, aged 37, died at a local hospital in this city Thursday night. Death was due to blood poisoning caused by an accident which befell Mr. Bock, the week previous to his death. Mr. Bock sustained a cut on his head when he fell against the radiator of his car in attempting to crank the machine. As he was manipulating the crank, his foot slipped, and he was thrown forward, his head striking the machine with considerable force. A severe wound was inflicted in the region of the eye. The wound soon developed blood poisoning and he was brought to a hospital in Le Mars. His condition was serious from the first, but his condition showed signs of mending for a time and hopes were entertained for his ultimate recovery. A relapse ensued and the result was fatal. Carl Bock was born in Plymouth county January 1, 1887, and lived here all his life. He was a hardworking and industrious citizen and well liked in the community. His death is mourned by his wife and son and a large number of relatives and friends. The body was shipped from here to Remsen where the funeral was held. ? Le Mars Semi-Weekly Sentinel, Tuesday, March 25, 1924 Also ? Remsen people and vicinity were sorely grieved Friday morning when the announcement was circulated of the death of Carl Bock, who died in a Le Mars hospital, of blood poisoning. About a week ago Mr. Bock was taken to the hospital, suffering from a severe case of blood poisoning, sustained a few days previous while cranking a car. He received the cut over his eye when he fell against the radiator of the machine. His condition while at the hospital grew steadily worse, and physicians could not check the poison, when erysipelas set in and pneumonia later. Those who mourn his sudden death are his wife and two small children, also his aged parents who reside at Gladbrook, Ia., and one brother, Emil. The deceased was 40 years of age. The funeral was held Saturday, from the St. Paul's church, under the auspices of the Pieper post, American legion, of which Mr. Bock was a member. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. H. Juergons. ? Le Mars Globe Post, Thursday, March 27, 1924, page 3. Also ? REMSEN MAN DIES, RESULT OF ACCIDENT. Carl Bock Passes Away in Hospital After Brief Illness. Funeral Held Here Saturday. Carl Bock, of Henry township, a well known farmer here for many years, and a native of this community, died in a Le Mars hospital last Thursday night from blood poisoning caused by an accident which befell him only eight days previously. Mr. Bock was 37 years old, and is survived by his wife, two children, one brother, and his parents. The body was brought to Remsen the following day, and the funeral held Saturday with services in St. Paul's church. Mr. Bock was injured on the night of March 12, when, after having visited with a neighbor, he attempted to crank his car to return home. While manipulating the crank he slipped and fell, striking his head against the radiator and inflicting a wound in his forehead. Within a short time blood poisoning developed, and after consulting physicians he was hurried to a hospital in Le Mas. His condition as regarded as serious from the first, although several days later he showed signs of recovery, but a relapse followed and the result was fatal. He passed away at the hospital at 9:20 o'clock Thursday night, March 20. The body was brought to Remsen the following day, and taken to the home of his relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Peter H. Koch, in town, awaiting burial. Carl Bock was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Juergen Bock, old time Remsen farmers who once lived south of town but now residing at Gladbrook, Iowa. He was born on a farm here January 1, 1887, and attended the local schools, and later attended college. In his youth Carl was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith, and has been a member of St. Paul's congregation for many years. In July, 1922, he was married to Miss Minnie Grage, and the couple has farmed in Henry township ever since. Two children were born to the couple. The deceased was a world war veteran and received his first military training at Camp Dodge, later serving for two years with the 88th division overseas. He was honorably discharged, and came direct to Remsen after the war to resume his residence here. Carl Bock was a likable young man, and had many friends in this vicinity, all of whom were sorely grieved over his untimely death and extend deepest sympathy to the bereaved wife and children. The funeral was held last Saturday afternoon with services at the Peter Koch home at 1:30 o'clock, followed by church services conducted by Rev. A. H. Juergens of St. Paul's church. The services were largely attended. Members of Pieper post, American Legion, of which the deceased was a member, attended in a body, and six of his former?(?)? They were: S.M. Fiedler, N. H.
