John Blocki
John Blocki (15 June 1845 – 7 May 1934) was one of America's pioneer perfumers. His perfumes and cosmetics were widely sold and his unique presentation earned him a U.S. patent for perfumery packaging. He was well-known in the trade for his leadership and commitment to the advancement of the American perfume industry. ==Early life and family== John Blocki was born on a feudal estate near Königsberg, Prussia in 1845.〔Leonard, John William. ''The Book of Chicagoans: a biographical dictionary of leading living mean and women of the city of Chicago.'' Chicago: A.N. Marquis & Company 1917. Page 68〕 His parents were Friedrich Wilhelm Blocki, a Prussian and Polish noble, and Emma (Doehling) of Pomerania.〔 In 1850, the Friedrich Blockis with their six sons, two daughters, tutor, governess and several servants left the turbulence in Prussia for America.〔Baker, Linda Blocki. "The Gale & Blocki Drug Store; History in a Perfume Bottle". ''Perfume Bottle Quarterly''. Spring 2006, volume 18, number 3, pages 5-7.〕 The voyage took six weeks and ended in a shipwreck off the shore of Sheboygan, Wisconsin where the family decided to settle. The only item salvaged from the shipwreck was a piano. It was the first piano in the state and people would come from miles around to hear Emma Blocki play on Sundays. Blocki was educated in the public and private schools in Wisconsin and afterwards moved to Chicago where he lived the rest of his life. He married an English woman, Emma Leadbeater, in 1867. They had two children, Frederick William and Jeanette (a twin, Irene, died very young).〔
