AMANDA SCHROCK

  Mrs. Amanda Schrock, 86, widow of Israel Schrock, died at 6:45 p.m., Jan. 3, 
in Somerset Community Hospital, to which she was admitted as a medical patient 
on Nov. 5.  She was born in Maryland on Dec. 15, 1859, a daughter of John and 
Matilda (Smucker) Alexander. 
  Mr. and Mrs. Schrock were residents of Meyersdale for many years.  Her husband 
was an expert carpenter and millwright.  During his younger years, when there 
were still many grist and saw mills operated by water power in Somerset County, 
Mr. Schrock specialized in building water wheels.
  After the death of her husband about 30 years ago, Mrs. Schrock made her home 
with relatives, Edward Schrock and family, near Stoystown.
  Funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. Edward Schrock, Stoystown R.D. 
1, where she had resided.  Rev. H. W. Nowag, Johnstown, officiated.  Interment 
was made in Union Cemetery, Meyersdale, beside the grave of her deceased 
husband.
