Bio

Son of J.R. & Louisa (Moesch) Brock. Married to Emma Smith in Aug. 1894. On the 5th of May, 1898, following the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, he enlisted at Lincoln, Nebraska, becoming a member of Company K, First Nebraska Volunteers. His regiment was sent direct to the Philippine islands, landing at Camp Dewey.

He has a fine collection of relics from the Philippines and relates many interesting tales concerning the people and their mode of living as well as their methods of warfare.
