      Schrock.--Bro. John D. Schrock was born in Holmes Co., O., Nov. 14, 1819; died near Garden City, Mo., April 9, 1910; aged 90 y. 4 m. 25 d. He is survived by 8 children, 47 grandchildren, 44 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren: total 102. Bro. Schrock was the oldest member of the Sycamore A. M. congregation. Funeral services April 11. Interment in the Clearfork Cemetery.

      Amish Mennonite preacher in Clinton Township, south of Goshen, IN. Ordained to the ministry about 1860 and served as a minister for about 5-6 years, after which he “stepped down.” Why did he step down? There was evidently some disunity in the ministry in the Clinton Frame congregation. This disunity probably related to the disciplinary standards of the former Amish. In those days the Mennonite and Amish Mennonite meetinghouses had a simple table from which the preachers spoke. Schrock evidently furnished the table. In 1874 when he moved to Cass County, MO as an Amish Mennonite layman he took the table along.

      The children were born in Middlebury, IN. Their son Jake moved to Cass Co., MO, then John and Mary bought a farm next to Jake and moved there as well. [1]
