I keep searching for that clue that will tell me why, why things turned
out like they did. Your Eugene Gauss held my Wilhelm Bock's life in
his hand so to speak. He bailed him out with a note on his land in 1844
but did not do anything when it went unpaid years after it was due.
Finally he broke down and had Sam McClure call for a Sheriff sale and
bought it himself. But he still didn't evict the old man. And not until
Bock was dead did Eugene Gauss break down and sell Bock's beloved Dutzow.
