Our subject has been equated with this John BOCK, but these data certainly don't jibe well with him being the John BOCK who married Frances STRAUB. We can grant that Louisa died and John remarried, but in the 1910 census, John indicates he's only been married once and that still leaves the birthdates off for both John and his mother.

2a. 1880 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): John BOCK (æ 17, b. NY) is living in the Town of Gates, Monroe Co., NY (p. 107B), with his parents, George BOCK (æ 44, b. Germany) & Mary (æ 36, b. Germany), plus siblings. I cannot find Frances STRAUB in the U.S., and I really looked.

2b. 1881 Census of Canada (online at FamilySearch.org): The only individual in the census who could be our subject's wife is a Francis (sic) STRAUB (æ 19, b. Ontario, female, Catholic) living in Woolwich, Waterloo North, ON, Canada (p. 17), with her parents, Frances (sic) STRAUB (æ 57, b. Germany, male, Catholic) & Mary (æ 50, b. Germany, Catholic), plus 12 siblings. However, Waterloo marriage records show a Clara Frances STRAUB who married in 1893, so she may be that woman.
