Notes - “Lena was born November 26, 1903, in Milford, Nebraska, the oldest child of Mary and Chris. She married Isaac Schelkopf on November 29, l922. Isaac was born January 24, l898, the son of Martin L. and Elma R. Schelkopf, neighboring farmers. He was their only son; they had four daughters. He was a graduate of the College of Agriculture in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Isaac’s father saw Lena when he went to the Schrock home to speak with Chris. Upon arriving home he said to Isaac, “I found you a wife today.” Isaac went to talk to Chris on a ruse, saying he had to talk about threshing but hoping to see Lena. Lena was barefoot and scrubbing the floor when he arrived. He decided after meeting her that his father was right. They were married about two years later. Lena was nineteen, and Isaac was twenty-eight. Following the wedding the celebration included dancing in the Schrock’s living room. Her mother was upstairs crying; she felt dancing was wrong and she didn’t want “that” in her home.
They were blessed with a fine family. Their five boys in order of birth were named Dean, Robert (Bob), Russell, Sterling, Stanley, and Conly. Their two girls were Sharol and Mary. [1]
