My interest here is the family of W.C. KNOBLOCH of Macon, GA.  Significant items highlighted in color.  Items regarding other KNOBLOCH / KNOBLOCK families are greyed.

There were several items in the entertainment pages in the 1920s about Hollywood dramatist Edward KNOBLOCK, which I did not abstract.

There arrived in Macon at a late hour last night a passenger via the East Tennessee train from Atlanta who registered at the Hotel Lanier as Charles Dayton, agent Sells Bros. circus.  He stated that the show would give six performances at the Central City park from December 3d to 6th if proper arrangements could be made with the city and that a certain per cent of the proceeds would be devoted to charitable purposes in Macon.  He contracted with George S. Jones for provender, etc.; Knoblock for breads; Wood, the butcher, for meats, and perhaps others.  He asked each of thse parties if the contract was not worth a good deal to them and if they would not be willing to pay him a little something for giving them the contract.  Jones willingly gave him $10, Wood gave $10, and Knoblock gave a check for $15.  These parties in the afternoon begun to get suspicious and to make inquiries.  They went to Bun Brown, the circus bill poster, and asked what he thought of Dayton.  Brown said Dayton had been to see him to contract for bill posting and showed him a contract written with type writer, and he immediately put him down as a fraud.  Knoblock had Dayton arrested by a policeman when he gave Knoblock back his check and also returned Jones his $10.  Dayton then left the Hotel Lanier about 5 o'clock without paying his board and is supposed to have left the city on one of the evening trains.  Dayton is thought to be George Vanderbilt, who has recently figured so notoriously in Atlanta.  Dayton was very well dressed and had all the appearance of being a gentleman.  Dayton was certainly no agent for Sells Bros.  He may have got other victims in Macon besides those mentioned above.

Dayton was arrested tonight in a colored restaurant, eating supper with a negro woman.  He had purchased a ticket to Cochran.  He was locked in jail on a warrant charging him as a common cheat and swindler.  Dayton had considerable money on his person.

This afternoon Mrs. Knoblock and another lady were in a buggy on Cherry street in front of a store.  An express wagon came up and, in turning one of the horses, backed up against a wheel of the buggy.  The express horse commenced to kick and got his foot and leg entangled in the spokes of the wheel and, in trying to get his leg out, tore the wheel to pieces and overturned the buggy, throwing the occupants to the ground, but fortunately neither were seriously hurt.  The leg of the horse was badly skinned.

The Teutonia Club of Macon will celebrate its fifth anniversay on Thursday night next.

The Teutonia Club orchestra, composed of Messrs. Phil Dohn, Louis Merkel, A. Dohn, H. Moll, C. Dohn and professor J.G. Welsy will render an admirable selection of music.  The banquet to be given on this occasion will far surpass anything of the kind ever given before by the Teutonians, and the banquet will be followed by a concert and ball.

Messrs. Theo Cosserer, S. Helfrich and Louis Deutcher are the arrangement committee, and they are assisted by Messrs. John Wald, president; W.C. Knobloch, vice president; and Adolph Dohn, secretary of the club.

Macon, Ga., July 16. — (Special.) — W.C. Knobloch, a leading confectioner and baker, is so very ill it is not believed he can live until daylight.  While he has not been in good health for some time, still it is not now generally known even among his closest friends that he is so near death.  He was attending to business as usual on Satuday, and on that afternoon while driving one of his teams had a narrow escape from death by a passing train.  Knobloch is a prominent Odd Fellow.  He has several children.  He is about forty-eight years old.

Macon, Ga., August 14. — (Special.) — Mrs. W.C. Knobloch has filed suit in the city court against the Southern railway for $20,000 damages for the death of her husband.  The deceased was 41 years old and, according to the petition, "had an expectancy of life beyond the average," and was earning $2,500 per annum at the time of his death.  On Jul 11, 1901, the deceased was riding in his bakery wagon on Elm street when it was struck by an engine and Mr. Knobloch was hurled some distance.  At first it was thought that he was not badly hurt, but in a day or two he was taken ill and died from concussion of the brain as a result of the accident, so it is alleged.

Washington, Ga., June 20. — (Special.) With the address of Bishop Benjamin J.

Piano solo, "Saleet a Pesth" -- Miss Eloise Knoblock, of Macon...
Bishop Kelley was assisted... in the presentation of the following medals...
The Thomas Fitzpatrick gold medal for scholarship.  Three members of the first collegiate class had to draw for this honor, as all three young ladies had been practically equal in their class-room work during the entire year.  Their examination marks in the finals had varied only a fractional part of a point.  The contestants were Misses Eloise Knoblock, of Macon; Teresa Torley, of Savannah; and Lucy King Lowe, of Washington.  Miss Knoblock drew the prize...

She had gone out with a party of friends for an outing and had then embarked in the boat for a row.  Miss Knoblock was very popular here, and her death has cast a gloom over the town.  She was about 23 years of age.
