Biographical history
Robert Henry Klock was born on January 9, 1824, in Hull, Outaouais Region, Quebec.
He was a lumberman in the Ottawa Valley. In the 1860s, together with his father and brothers, they established the Klock Lumber Company south of Mattawa, Ontario. The thriving area became known as the town of Klock’s Mill which existed until the Depression of the 1930s. In the 1950s, due to the construction of the Holden Dam, the village was flooded.
He married Sarah Ann Murphy (1829-1884). He died on March 31, 1891, in Aylmer, Outaouais Region, Quebec.
