He and Hilda were among the Founders of Hallocksville Museum Farm.
Obituary of Shirley Young Hallock (Suffolk County, New York Obituary Collection - 3; GenealogyBuff.com).
Northville lost its patriarch, 90-year-old Shirley Young Hallock, who died at Central Suffolk Hospital on January 3, 2001. Mr. Hallock was born May 13, 1910, on the family farm on Sound Avenue, the fifth of six children of Herman and Sarah Young Hallock. The Hallockville Museum homestead was the birthplace of his grandfather, Charles H. Hallock.
In a 1991 interview, Shirley recalled traveling to Riverhead High School the first year in a horse-drawn buggy, the next years in a friend's Model T Ford. Family trips to Riverhead were all-day events, with the horses drinking from a brook where later the Shuberts had a duck farm. He remembered wonderful holiday and birthday parties, picnics at the 1910 bungalow on the Sound, often with an extended family of Youngs, Aldriches and Hallocks.
In 1929, after two years of working on farms, Shirley attended flying school in St. Louis, receiving an advanced pilot's license. For a short time he flew the air mail from St. Louis to Chicago in an open cockpit biplane through all kinds of weather. He returned to the farm during the Great Depression.
As a part-time chauffeur for Frank Young Sr., an ardent Democrat of Aquebogue, he witnessed firsthand the 1932 inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the celebration that followed.
Shirley worked for L.I. Produce Co. as a salesman, then for G.L.F. buying and selling potatoes. Still later he ran his own company, selling and distributing potato bags. He was manager of Jeep sales at Vail Motors when he retired in 1980.
Over the years his many involvements included secretary of L.I. Agriculture and Marketing Association, several years as secretary of the Rotary Club, master of Sound Avenue Grange, deacon of the Northville Congregational Church and president of Hallockville Museum Farm restoration.
Always a lover of the outdoors, Shirley in his retirement enjoyed watching the sun over the Sound at Iron Pier Beach, along with other members of the "Senior Sunset Society."
He leaves his wife of 60 years, Hilda Burd Hallock, a retired Riverhead schoolteacher, two daughters, Jayne Zebrowski, a schoolteacher of Patchogue, and Susan Klock, a lawyer of Glastonbury, Conn., and a son, Geoffrey Hallock, an electrical contractor of Northville. Five grandchildren, Robert Zebrowski, Kate Z. Brennan, Anson, Fil and Andrew Klock, and three Zebrowski great-grandchildren also survive.
Cremation and a private burial in the family plot in the Sound Avenue Cemetery will be followed by a memorial service at a later date.
