NELLIS KLOCK (DANIEL J. , ELIZABETH NELLIS, CHRISTIAN JR. , BARVALIS ELIZABETH KLOCK, 1 HENDRICK ) was born August 24, 1831 in Montgomery County, New York, and died June 27, 1911. He married LOVINA T. OTTMAN January 29, 1863 in Morristown, St. Lawrence Cty , New York. She was born 1839 in Clay, Onondaga, New York. Notes for NELLIS KLOCK: Klock Connections, Issue # 22 May 2003 Nellis Klock Family and the Newspaper Business Rev. Nellis Klock was born August 24, 1831 in Montgomery County, New York. He was the son of Danial J. Klock and Nancy Nellis. Rev. Nellis Klock was a Methodist Minister, a School Teacher, and a Newspaper Owner and Editor. Nellis Klock was the founder of the Holland Sentinel in Holland, Michigan. He founded the Holland Sentinel in 1896 which is still in business today in the City of Holland.. He also published another paper in Holland called the Independent, a weekly newspaper that continued until 1904. The Holland City Directory ( 1897 ­ 1898 ) has him listed as living at 190 E. Eight Street in Holland Michigan The U.S Post Office is now at that address. The City Directory lists Nellis L. Klock as publisher; Ernest G. Klock as Associate Editor; Lillian I. Klock and Ida Klock as Compositors. Nellis Klock married Lovian T. Ottman who was also born in New York. Lovian Ottman was also a school teacher. Nellis Klock and Lovian had five children, Jay E., John Nellis, Ernest G., Lillian I. and Ida. All were in the Newspaper Business. Nellis sold the Holland Sentinel to Roland C. Eisley, from Benton Harbor, Michigan, after two years of running the Sentinel. Nellis Klock son John Nellis Klock married Carrie Belle Eisley so I would think that Roland Eisley would have been the brother of Carrie Belle Eisley. Roland Eisley ran the paper for several years and moved the paper several times within the City of Holland. Today the Holland Sentinel, still in business is the largest newspaper in the city. It is hard to find copies of the Holland Sentinel before 1912. No complete collection of the sentinels exists before 1912. No one knows for sure, but rumors have it that the editors and early staff members burned the back copies to keep warm. Some copies of the Sentinel was found tucked away in a metal trunk in by Jan Brower in 1996. In 1909, Mrs. Brower’s father, Herman Keikenveldt, then a boy of 11, started out at the Sentinel earning $1.00 per week delivering papers. He later became a pressman. He keep the copies of the Sentinel in the old trunk. John Nellis Klock, the son of Rev. Nellis Klock, was also a Newspaper Editor. John was born Oct. 18, 1865 in Lawrence County, New York. He founded the Stockton Harald in 1888 at the age of 22. He was the Founder of the Evening News and later the News­Palladium in Benton Harbor, Michigan.
