MARGARET SCHROCK

  The funeral of Mrs. Margaret Schrock, last Saturday, was largely attended.  
The funeral service was conducted in the edifice of the Church of the Brethren 
at Rockwood at 2:30 p.m. by the pastor, Rev. Walter F. Berkebile.  Interment 
followed in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in charge of Mills and Mickey, funeral 
directors of Rockwood.
  Mrs. Schrock, who until the demise of her husband about eight years ago, 
resided in Middlecreek Township, had lived in an alternating manner with her 
children, Elmer L. Schrock, W. Preston Schrock and Mrs. Simpson Shaffer, all of 
Rockwood, and C. Ross Schrock, of Milford Township.  That was the case because 
of their nearness to the place of her birth and also to that of her connubial 
life.  Other surviving children are:  Mrs. Russell Hilliard and Miss Lillian 
Leora Schrock, both of Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Wearing Gates, of Spokane, 
Washington.
  She also leaves these sisters:  Mrs. Ida B. Kepner, of Scottdale; Mrs. Albert 
J. Faidley, of Rockwood, and Mrs. Berton Hager, of Niagara Falls, N.Y.  One 
daughter, Miss Ida Bell Schrock, is deceased.
  Mrs. Schrock was a daughter of Jesse C. and Christina (Dull) Sweitzer, of 
Milford Township, who many years ago preceded her to the grave.  She lacked but 
two days of attaining the Biblical allotted years of three-score and ten.
  Mrs. Schrock's goodness of heart as a wife, mother, neighbor and friend was 
proverbial.  She was a lifelong, active and devoted communicant of the Church of 
the Brethren.
