      Mrs. Schrock was born Aug. 8, 1912, at New Raymer to Ira and Jennie (Butler) Williams. She received her elementary education in the school taught by her mother. She lived with her aunt and uncle, Jessie and Robert Boyd, in Nunn from 1930-31 and graduated from Nunn High School in May, 1931. 

      On Jan. 28, 1935, she was married to Pete Schrock in Akron. They lived on a farm at Thurman from 1935 to 1948. She taught in the Capitol Hill School in 1944-1946 and Pleasant Hill School from 1946-1948.

      In 1955 the Schrocks moved to Canon City, where she taught school for the next 16 years. She attended summer school and night classes and received her master's degree from Western State College in Gunnison. 

      In July, 1971, the Schrocks retired and moved to Akron. She was an active member of the Methodist Church and enjoyed playing the piano in church and at the nursing home. She helped organize and was active in the Dorcus Quilting Circle.
