Bishop Andrew A.Schrock, son of Andrew and Kathryn (Kramer) Schrock, was born in Alsace Lorraine, France on October 28, 1863. At the age of six years he emigrated with his parents from France to this country and settled in Linn Township, Illinois, where he spent the earlier part of his life.
He was baptized and received into the membership of the Roanoke Mennonite Church, near Eureka, Illinois, in the year 1878. On January 12, 1888, he was united in marriage to Barbara Bachman. After his marriage he moved to Metamora Township where he engaged in farming. On July 8, 1894, he was ordained to the office of minister at the Metamora Church. On April 24, 1898, he was ordained to the office of Bishop, in which capacity he served the congregation for forty-three years. In his later years he retired from farming and moved into the town of Metamora, where he resided until April 7, 1949, when he passed away at the age of 85 years, 5 months and 9 days.
Brother Schrock was a peace-loving servant of the Lord. He was always willing to go the second mile in order to maintain peace and unity in the church. As a fellow minister he was considerate and kind hearted, always endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. It indeed was a real pleasure and inspiration to work with him from the beginning of my ministry until the close of his active service for God and the church.
He had a deep concern for the spiritual welfare of souls and for the preservation of the doctrines of the Mennonite Church. In his preaching and teaching, he, like the Apostle Paul, ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. His was not a dry-eyed ministry. When there was a departure from the faith on the part of the laity, his soul was disturbed and his heart saddened. He frequently remarked that he keenly felt his responsibility as the shepherd of the flock, as one that watched for their souls and as one that will be called upon to give an account unto God.
He took his task as a minister seriously, and entered wholeheartedly into the preaching of the Word. At the time of his ordination to the ministry, the transition was being made from preaching in the German language to the English. It was very apparent that he was a man that was called for such a time as this since he could speak fluently in both languages. His ability along this line made it possible to make the change gradually, and gracefully, without serious disruption.
During the fifty years of faithful service in the ministry of the church, he saw many changes take place, some that he deeply regretted, and interpreted as a departure from the faith, and a compromise with the world. Although he failed to see the wisdom of the change, he did not refuse to cooperate sympathetically with the conference and the church, but continued to preach the “unsearchable riches of Christ.”
During the earlier part of his ministry, he was very active in the work of the church, serving a number of times as moderator of the Western A.M. Conference (of which the Illinois Conference was a member at the time), also serving on important committees of the Conference and church at frequent intervals. --by H. R. Schertz

Schrock, Andrew A. (1863-1949)
Andrew A. Schrock (1863-1949), an Mennonite (Mennonite Church) bishop, was born in Alsace, France, on 28 October 1863, and came to the Metamora community from Alsace at the age of six. On 12 January 1888, he married Barbara Bachman; eight children were born to this union. On 8 July 1894, he was ordained as a minister and on 24 April 1898, as bishop. He served the Metamora Mennonite Church faithfully and was also used widely in other congregations in the Western Amish Mennonite Conference. He was moderator of this Conference on six different occasions.

Schrock was a kindly man with an absorbing interest in the welfare of the church and his responsibility for preserving the faith. He was able to adapt himself to the times in such a way that the congregations under his oversight were able to make the necessary transitions without undue friction. Bishop Schrock was singularly humble and sincere, and a faithful and worthy servant of the church during a very difficult period. He died 7 April 1949.
