Schrock.--Jacob B., son of John D. And Mary (Sproal) Schrock, was born near Middlebury, Ind., April 30, 1844; died in his home near Garden City, Mo., Jan. 11, 1937; aged 92 y. 8 m. 11 d. He was one of a family of 9 children, all except 3 of whom have preceded him in death. In his youth he accepted Christ as his Savior, and throughout life he was a consistent, faithful Christian. He was united in marriage to Elizabeth S. Peachey, of Belleville, Pa., Nov. 19, 1865. To them were born a son and 3 daughters. The son and 1 daughter preceded him in infancy; 1 daughter (Ida Teresa Plank) five years ago, the mother eight years ago. He is survived by 1 daughter (Mrs. J. A. Miller), 12 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, 1 brother (D. J. Schrock, Garden City, Mo.), 2 sisters (Mrs. F. H. Allison, Garden City, Mo., and Mrs. Emma Klopfenstein, Maywood, Calif.). In 1866 they moved from Pennsylvania to Elkhart, Ind. In 1868 they moved to near Pleasant Hill, Mo., and in 1869 they came to the present home, where he lived for 68 years. For the past eight years he had been in declining health. He was afflicted with arthritis and was bedfast for the last five years. Loving hearts and willing hands were in constant attendance and made a feeble effort to brighten the "last mile of the way" for him. He had many a midnight visit from those who braved the elements in order that he might enjoy a few short hours. Funeral services were conducted at the home by S. S. Hershberger, and at Sycamore Grove church by I. G. Hartzler, assisted by L. J. Miller. Interment in Clearfork Cemetery. "The days were hard, for he was feeble and old
And longed to rest in the shepherd's fold.
So God in His mercy extended His hand.
To welcome this traveler to a better land."
