From the Sioux County Index (Hull), May 22, 1931:

Louie Kloek Passes Away After Long Illness, Tuesday

Friends of the Aart Kloek family were truly sorry to hear of the death of Louie Klock at the Hull Hospital Tuesday [May 19], where he had been for many weeks suffering from an incurable disease.

Louie had been a favorite with his young friends and his good nature endeared him to all who knew him. He suffered patiently and his only concern was for his relatives when he realized the end was near. His father and mother, brothers and sisters have the sincere sympathy of all in their sorrow.

The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at one o’clock at the home and at one-thirty at the First Reformed church, Rev. G. H. Douwstra officiating and interment will be in Hope cemetery.
