  	Christian W. Shockey, one of the oldest residents of this section of 
  Franklin County, for many years a well known farmer near Roadside, died at the 
  home of his daughter, Mrs. Anna Hollinger, at Greencastle, on Saturday 
  afternoon at 3:30 at the age of 90 years.  Had he lived until June 30 he would

  progressive farmers of Washington Township until he retired several years 
  ago.  Since his retirement he lived with his daughter at Greencastle.  He was 
  a member of the Church of the Brethren.
  	Surviving are four children, three sons and a daughter, as follows:
