Per Cincinnati, the Queen City, 1788-1912, Volume 4
By S.J. Clarke Publishing Company
OLIVER M. DOCK.

Oliver M. Dock, attorney-at-law, was born December 14, 1885. his parents being William and Amelie Dock, the former sole owner of the soap manufacturing plant of William Dock & Company for the past twenty-five years. The family comes of French ancestry and the father, crossing the Atlantic to America in 1870, settled at once in Cincinnati where he has long occupied a position as one of the captains of industry in this city, controlling a business of large and growing importance that is of value in upholding the commercial stability of the city.

At the usual age Oliver M. Dock became a pupil in the public schools of Cincinnati and mastered the various branches of learning as he passed from grade to grade, at length graduating from the Woodward high school in June, 1904. He then added to this course a thorough classical training, being for four years a student in the Ohio State University which conferred upon him the LL. B. degree at the time of his graduation in June, 1908. Immediately afterward he associated himself with Judge Cushing, Charles Leslie and Harry C. Bush in the practice of law, remaining a member of that firm until January, 1911, when he withdrew to associate himself with ex-Judge Herman P. Goebel in a practice which he has since followed with the greatest success. His work in the courts has drawn to him the attention of the public and of the profession and his fellow members of the bar regard him as a rising young lawyer who has already given strong evidence of the possession of those traits and qualities which insure success at the bar. He is moreover financially interested in the soap manufacturing business of William Dock & Company.

Mr. Dock is a member of the Ohio State University branch of The Sphinx and is a blue lodge Mason. His political views coincide with the principles of the republican party which he always supports by his ballot, but he has neither time nor inclination for public office. His profession is his first interest for he recognizes the fact that unfaltering industry and close application are as essential to advancement in the law as in any mechanical pursuit.

Per Memoirs of the Miami valley, Volume 3 By John Calvin Hover
Oliver M. Dock. Among the men prominently indentified with the legal profession of Cincinnati, as well as with the political, civic and social life of the city, none is more worthy of mention in the history of the Miami valley than Oliver M. Dock, attorney-at-law, and assistant city solicitor, of Cincinnati. Mr. Dock holds prestige in his profession by reason of ability and thorough training, and is one of the native sons who has succeeded in his life work in his own community. He was born, December 14, 1886, the son of William and Amelia (Schwartz) Dock, natives of Alsace, France, and Cincinnati, Ohio, respectively. William Dock came to the United States, early in 1871, locating in Cincinnati, where he has since resided, and for many years has been engaged in the manufacture of soap, conducting his business on what is now Colerain avenue, near Brighton, under the name of William Dock & Company. For half a century he has been one of the active factors in the progress and development of this community, and is prominent in business circles. Oliver M. Dock acquired his rudimentary education in the public schools of his native city, and after being graduated from the Woodward high school, he matriculated at the Ohio State University, where he pursued an academic and law course. He received the degree of Bachelor of Laws from this institution, in 1908, and after his admission to the bar in the same year, immediately commenced the practice of his profession in Cincinnati. For several years Mr. Dock pursued a general practice alone, but in 1911, he became associated in practice with Judge Herman P. Goebel, and this relation continues to the present day. Their office, in the Masonic Temple, is equipped with an up-to-date law library, and they are recognized as one of the strong and efficient law firms in the city. Mr. Dock has devoted himself entirely to his profession, and has been connected with numerous important cases. He has always maintained the highest standards of professional ethics, and is recognized as a man of ability and sagacity. His cases are always carefully prepared, and are based upon facts and the law applicable to them, and he never forgets or disregards the dignity of his position before the bench or the high purpose of the courts. In March, 1919, Mr. Dock was made assistant city solicitor, a position of which he is still the incumbent, and which he has filled for nearly three years with satisfaction to the public and credit to himself. He is a member of the Cincinnati Bar Association, the Masonic Order, and also his college fraternity. On September 25, 1915, Mr. Dock was united in marriage with Miss Lyda Blake, of Lock Haven, Pa., and they have one son, Blake Dock.
