Ingham (1899) ANTHONY SCHOCH, more familiarly known as Adam Schoch, is a young man of undoubted integrity who has secured his present position of foreman in the yards of Trixler & Terrill, at Ricketts, Sullivan county, Pennsylvania, through his industry and energy. He is a son of Anthony Schoch and was born February 5, 1873, in Carbon county, this state. At the age of twenty he came to Ricketts to work for himself and began as a laborer for the firm in whose service he is still engaged. So diligently did he apply himself to the duties in hand that at the expiration of three years he was made foreman, a position for which he has shown himself well qualified. He was married at Waverly, New York, on March 9, 1892, to Miss Annie F. Sliker, a daughter of W. M. Sliker. She was born at Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania. They have had three children, namely: Florence, deceased; Esther and Lawrence. Mr. Schoch is a strong Democrat and takes an intelligent interest in the working of his party. He was made a Mason at Monroeton, Pennsylvania, in 1897. Additional Comments: Extracted from: History of Sullivan County Pennsylvania by Thomas J.
