Notes:

“Joseph Schrock, a well-to-do and successful farmer and stock-raiser of Montgomery Township is located on section 22. The village of Congerville, which was begun in the spring of 1888, is situated on a portion of his farm.* He owns about 320 acres of land, which is divided into two farms. Some of this land was bought in 1864, in which year he first came to this county, buying wild land and improving it with fences, trees, buildings, etc., and as fortune smiled upon him, purchasing more land, which he also improved until he is now very comfortably situated. Before coming to Montgomery Township, he resided some seven years in Roanoke Township, which was the second place in which he had located after coming to the state of Illinois in 1850.

“...reared in Butler County, Ohio, and attended the common schools of the district through the winter, and in the summer assisted on the farm and in the mill, thus acquiring a practical knowledge of agricultural matters, and getting a good insight into business transactions while an employee in his father's mill. He was of legal age, but unmarried, when he came to this state. While a resident of Tazewell County, he was united in marriage with the lady of his choice, Miss Magdalena Guingerich, a country-woman of his....” ,

“Mr. and Mrs. Schrock are good, intelligent German people, industrious, thrifty, and provident, and although not mingling in political matters, yet make excellent citizens, and are worthy members of the New Amish Church.” (Apostolic Christian)

According to Illinois Public Land Purchase Records found at Ancestry.com, Joseph Guingerich purchased 20,000 acres of land between Oct 1861 and Mar 1869, paying $224,000.

Joseph Guingerich, his father-in-law, along with Peter Farni, built a mill in Woodford County (near Farnisville, Mackinaw River area).

The first Joseph and Magdalena Schrock reunion was held in 1949. Several Pekin Schrocks and Tillman Smith attended, but did not return other years. So it became known as the Jonathan Schrock reunion.

*The History of Congerville (page 10, 17) tells the story of the town’s original intention of being named Schrock and the ultimate decision to name it Congerville.

Magdalena Schrock 1829-1922
Magdalena Schrock, one of the eldest and most highly esteemed residents of Montgomery Township, Woodford County, died at the home of her son, Jonathan Schrock at Congerville, Thursday evening after a two month’s illness with complications incident to old age.
Magdalena Guingerich was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Guingerich, natives of Lorraine, France, and she was born on the sea on the way to America, November 20, 1829.
The family first settled in Ohio where they lived only a few years, later coming to Illinois. They settled near Mackinaw Dells over ninety years ago and where the deceased had since made her home and at Congerville.
When Mrs. Schrock was a child, her mother died and she then went to make her home with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gerber. Her father, Joseph Guingerich, left soon after his wife’s death for the Gold Fields of California, driving a team of cows that were taken on the trip to furnish milk for the prospecting party.
She married Joseph Schrock in 1852. They were the parents of nine children, as follows:
Mrs. John Zimmerman of Carlock; John Schrock, Wichita, Kansas; Mrs. Samuel Roth of Fairbury who died 38 years ago; Mrs. John Sutter, Paulding, Ohio; Joseph Schrock, Goodfield; Jonathan Schrock, Congerville; Mrs. Nathan Gudeman, Paine, Ohio; Mrs. Paul Gerber, Latty, Ohio; David Schrock, Congerville.
She is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Anna Sommers of Mansfield, Ohio.
Beside her sister and children, Mrs. Schrock is survived by fifty-nine grandchildren and seventy great-grandchildren. Her husband died several years ago.
Mrs. Schrock was a member of the Christian Apostolic Church. The funeral will be held from the Church of that denomination at Mackinaw Dells at 1 o’clock Friday afternoon.

Her parents came to the US in 1830 from Le Havre to New York, and Magdalena was born during the crossing. After her mother’s death, young Magdalena lived with “Aunt Gerber” (Barbara Guerber Gingerich Strubhar).

Notes:

“After the wedding, a supper and reception were held in their home south of Deer Creek, Illinois. There was a gathering of Mennonites to help celebrate. Joseph Verkler, an elder in the Apostolic Christian Church who was visiting in Slabtown, was invited to attend the reception. After supper, the couple brought out a game of dominoes for all the guests to enjoy. When they invited Joseph Verkler to join them, he politely declined and said that that was not for him. The young bride witnessed the way he stood for his religious beliefs and did not bend temporarily to satisfy his peers. As time unfolded, Joseph and Magdalena Schrock joined the Christian Apostolic Church.”
