New Schrock Article
June 19, 2021“Two Longs and Two Shorts,” a poem by Mary Cender Miller, makes its debut on the Schrock-Birkey Connection. It is taken from a 97-page book of autobiographical poetry of the same name. Mary and I are second cousins and share many relatives, including Great Aunt Magdalena (Lena) Schrock. We both shine her light for your attention: Mary, in a poem in her recent book: me, on my website, giving every visitor the opportunity to know of Lena’s important contribution to the life of a rural Illinois community in the early 1900s.
