In May of this year, Freeland's Station was visited by the Indians; one man, D. Lariman, was killed, and his head cut off. The whites pursued the retreating savages to the neighborhood of Duck River, near the place since known as Gordon's Ferry, where they came in hearing of them preparing their camp fires.  The party of white men immediately dismounted, and marched upon the Indian camp, which was found deserted; the enemy escaped.  Of the pursuers, who numbered about twenty, the names only of four are known: Alexander Buchanan, John Brock, William Mann, and Capt. James Robertson

"History of McLean County, Illinois", Author: Hasbrouck, Jacob L., Publisher: Historical Pub. Co., 1924, Page 498-499
    Enoch Brock, who has been successfully engaged in the practice of law at Bloomington since 1886, when he was admitted to the bar, is a native of Grainger County, Tenn. He was born Sept 17, 1855, the son of James and Rachel (Akins) Brock. 

    James Brock was born in Grainger county, Tenn., and he was of Scotch descent, his parents having come from Scotland to Maryland. They later moved to Virginia and later to North Carolina, and finally to Tennessee. His wife was of English descent and her ancestors were early settlers of Tennessee. On Jan. 4, 1861, Mr. and Mrs. James Brock moved their family to McLean County, Ill., making the trip by rail. They settled on a farm and Mr. Brock became a leading farmer and stockman of the county. He died March 20, 1909, at LeRoy, and his wife died Sept. 18, 1910, at Leroy. Enoch Brock, the subject of this sketch, is one of three children living, as follows: Sarah F., married E. I. Harrison, lives at Bloomington, and Rachel, married Charles Null, lives at LeRoy.
    Enoch Brock was reared on his father's farm and remembers many incidents of the Civil War days. He received his education in the district schools and attended Illinois Wesleyan University at  Bloomington, from which he was graduated in the law department in 1886. Since that time Mr. Brock has engaged in practice at Bloomington and he is widely known throughout the county.
    On Sept 20, 1876, Enoch Brock married Miss Mattie Crumbaugh, a native of LeRoy, and the daughter of Montgomery and Mary (West) Crumbaugh, the former a native of Kentucky and an early settler of McLean County in 1840. Mary West was the daughter of Henry West, also a native of  Kentucky and early settler of McLean County, after whom the township, West Township, is named.  To Enoch and Mattie (Crumbaugh) Brock three children have been born, as follows: Letta, now the wife of Edward C. Stone, editor of the Washington Post on Markets, Washington, D. C.; Mabel, married William Y. Mickle, professor in the John B. Stetson university of Deland, Fla., and Bernice, married M. F. Ainsworth, seed dealer and farmer of Mason City, ILL.
    Mr. Brock is a member of the Phi Delta Phi law fraternity. He is a Democrat. He is a man who is highly esteemed in the community and he is a reliable and substantial citizen of Bloomington.
