BLOCH, ORVILLE EMIL - Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient WW II

jasche — 17 Jan 2007 3:06:20 GMT

BLOCH, ORVILLE EMIL

Rank and organization: First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, Company E, 338th Infantry, 85th Infantry Division. Place and date: Near Firenzuola, Italy, 22 September 1944. Entered service at: Streeter, N. Dak. Birth: Big Falls, Wis. G.O. No.: 9, 10 February 1945. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at risk of life above and beyond the call of duty. 1st Lt. Bloch undertook the task of wiping out 5 enemy machinegun nests that had held up the advance in that particular sector for 1 day. Gathering 3 volunteers from his platoon, the patrol snaked their way to a big rock, behind which a group of 3 buildings and 5 machinegun nests were located. Leaving the 3 men behind the rock, he attacked the first machinegun nest alone charging into furious automatic fire, kicking over the machinegun, and capturing the machinegun crew of 5. Pulling the pin from a grenade, he held it ready in his hand and dashed into the face of withering automatic fire toward this second enemy machinegun nest located at the corner of an adjacent building 15 yards distant. When within 20 feet of the machinegun he hurled the grenade, wounding the machinegunner, the other 2 members of the crew fleeing into a door of the house. Calling one of his volunteer group to accompany him, they advanced to the opposite end of the house, there contacting a machinegun crew of 5 running toward this house. 1st Lt Bloch and his men opened fire on the enemy crew, forcing them to abandon this machinegun and ammunition and flee into the same house. Without a moment's hesitation, 1st Lt. Bloch, unassisted, rushed through the door into a hail of small-arms fire, firing his carbine from the hip, and captured the 7 occupants, wounding 3 of them. 1st Lt. Bloch with his men then proceeded to a third house where they discovered an abandoned enemy machinegun and detected another enemy machinegun nest at the next corner of the building. The crew of 6 spotted 1st Lt. Bloch the instant he saw them. Without a moment's hesitation he dashed toward them. The enemy fired pistols wildly in his direction and vanished through a door of the house, 1st Lt. Bloch following them through the door, firing his carbine from the hip, wounding 2 of the enemy and capturing 6. Altogether 1st Lt. Bloch had single-handedly captured 19 prisoners, wounding 6 of them and eliminating a total of 5 enemy machinegun nests. His gallant and heroic actions saved his company many casualties and permitted them to continue the attack with new inspiration and vigor.

Martinus Block/Bloch/Bloks Heesch Noord Brabant Netherlands

tneville — 12 Jan 2007 2:12:35 GMT

Am resubmitting a query for Martinus Bloks (Martin Block) who emigrated with his 2nd wife, Dina Pijnenburg, 1 Apr 1881 with son, Johanna, age 3 to USA. Martin was son of Johannes Bloks (b 27 Oct 1816 in Heesch to Johannes Bloks and Annemie van Lieverious) and Johanna Beems (b 2 Aug 1820 to Jan Beems and Jacomijn van Grinsven). First wife was Johanna van den Boom (b. 5 Sep 1840 d. 23 July 1878 in Nistelrode, Noord Brabant). Martin's siblings (all born in Heesch) were: Jacobus 17 Feb 1845, Hendrickus 17 Nov 1849, Rombout 14 Dec 1851, Johanna Maria 2 Mar 1854, Jacobuis 21 Oct 1855, Jacobus 23 Jan 1857, Jacobus 2 Apr 1858, Francisca 7 May 1859. Anna Maria 25 Oct 1862, Franciscus 25 Oct 1862, Johannes 24 Oct 1864 and Johannes 14 Mar 1866. I am assuming that many children did not live long, considering the reuse of some names. Does any of this fit into your family?

Bloch/Zmuda Clan of Chicago

Koach87 — 23 Jun 2006 1:01:38 GMT

I recently learned some things about my great-grandmother's family: she was born Veronika Bloch in, I believe, Krakow, Poland in 1889. Her father either died, or the marriage ended. Well, her mother Anna married Adam Zmuda. They had a daughter named Anna (b. Sep 8, 1893 in Chicago; died Nov 12, 1997 in the area) and several children. Between Adam and Anna (the mother), there were 10 children. Anna (the daughter) married Frank Zaleta. Veronika, my great-grandmother, married John Czerniak. Any information about the Bloch/Zmuda family would be appreciated. They lived in the Chicago area.

I have traced family back to Sidonie and Isaak Bloch, Sidonie's maiden name Guggenheim, born in 1865 - her mother was a Rothschild, born in 1843. Believe they all lived in Randegg Germany. If these names sound familiar to anyone, please contact me. I know there are still some Bloch's in Mannheim Germany and some in Cleveland, Ohio.

I am looking for info on the above person's FATHER. She is my grandmother b. Jan 26, 1885 in Reynoldsville, IL. She went on to m. Lemuel Bert HAGLER b. Jan 03, 1884 in Pomona, IL. I have found some info. her mother's side of the family

The one person my family would LOVE to find is Ada's father. We have known him as William Alfred BLACK...no other info on parents or siblings. He m. Frances Emiline BUTLER, daughter of Elijah BUTLER and Elizabeth DOSS. Frances is found in TN.

The reason I am posting a message on the BLOCH board is because in the 1920 Farm Directory it list Lemuel Bert HAGLER and his wife, ADA BLOCH. http://www.iltrails.org/jackson/farmdxh.htm . I know this listing are my grandparents because I have a paper copy listing the children...which are my aunts and uncles.
