Alfred Jarvis and Maud Caywood Klock With Dorothy and Chester Follow Up to Issue 44 of Klock Connections In March of 2005, Issue 44 of Klock Connections, there was an article about John Klock and his family. In that article I said I would let you know his line when I was able to find it. I had pretty much forgotten about it until I found an obituary of Lois Klock. While searching for the line of Lois, I found the connection to John. Lois was John s mother. Lois Irene (Rosentreter) Klock was born in Oak Harbor, Ohio on July 16, 1927, she was the daughter of the late Norton and Emma (Fisher) Rosentreter. After graduating from Oak Harbor High School in 1945, Lois obtained a nursing degree and worked as an army nurse with WWII veterans at Flower Hospital, Toledo, Ohio. Lois moved to Washington D.C. to work with WOL Radio where she earned the call name, "Lois Lane." Lois loved Colorado and eventually returned to work at KBOL Radio in Boulder. She also worked for KRDO Radio in Colorado Springs and gained the nickname, "Rosie." She met Donald L. Klock while working in Boulder and they were married. Donald and Lois had five children. The marriage ended in divorce and Donald married twice more. Lois never remarried and spent her time raising the five children: Chyme who is a school teacher in North Canton, Ohio and is married to Doug Burnham, David lives in Lehi, Utah and is a Realtor. Michael married Robin and is a school teacher in Wapakoneta, Ohio, John and his wife Lygia now Don Klock, lives in Wapakoneta, Ohio with his third wife, Mary. Don, who is now 80, with no plans for retirement, owns and runs a company called Don Klock & Association in Wapakoneta, Ohio where he makes party and reunion ribbons. I had talked with Don in 2005 when I was working on the newsletter article about his son. I decided to give Don another call. Don receives this newsletter and forwards it to others in his family. I also called and talked with his daughter, Chyme. They told me to contact Darlene Brumley. Darlene lives in California and does the Genealogy for the family. Darlene is the daughter of Chester Klock, Don s brother. Don gave me her phone number so I gave Darlene a call. We talked for a while and exchanged e mail addresses. Darlene sent me quite a bit of information she had collected, including pictures, birth, marriage, death records and obituaries. She sent me the picture that is on the front page of her grandparents; Alfred Jarvis Klock and his wife, Maud, Chester and Aunt Dorothy. Aunt Dorothy died when she was about 16, according to Darlene. Alfred was born September 03, 1881. He was the adopted son of Jarvis L. Klock. Jarvis married Elizabeth Schwinler, the daughter of Charles and Maria "Briss" Schwinler. Elizabeth s first husband was Henry Ortel. After Henry died she married Jarvis L. Klock and on Feb. 6, 1894, Alfred Ortel became Alfred Jarvis Klock. Alfred married Maud Amelia Caywood on July 11, 1912. Alfred Jarvis Klock and Maud had four children; Dorothy and Chester, Jarvis and Don. Darlene Brumley told me she researches the Ortel line, because Alfred was the adopted son of Jarvis L. Klock. Continued Next Page
Follow Up to Issue 44 of Klock Connections To me a Klock is a Klock. You cannot choose your children, but in the case of adoption, you can, and then that choice is made from a special kind of love. Just how many Klocks in my family tree were not Klock s is anyone s guess. Years ago adoptions were never recorded, except maybe in a Family Bible. People died from awful plagues and diseases that today would be cured with a dose of antibiotics and there were a lot of orphaned children. These children would be raised by an Aunt, Uncle, Grandparent, God parent, or close friend, or neighbor. Sometimes the adoptive parent would change the name of the child without going through a legal type adoption. So there could be a lot of Klocks on my tree that were not born a Klock, but adopted by a Klock Family and no record ever recorded of this adoption. So to me, Alfred Jarvis Ortel Klock, is a Klock and deserves placement in my Klock Family Tree along with his descendants. But for the genealogical records, I have put the fact that Alfred was adopted in the note section of my family tree. The Ashley Connection Calvin Ashley was born in Massachusetts in 1878.
