Hello,
These are not my relatives. Information was found in the 1892 Portrait & Biographical Album of Genesee, Lapeer & Tuscola Counties, Chapman Bros. in Michigan. I hope that it helps someone with their history.

ALMON and PHILIP SCHOCK, now residents of Metamora Township, Lapeer County, are the sons of Joseph and Malinda (Pearson) Schock, both natives of Pennsylvania in which State they were united in marriage and in which the father followed the occupation of a tiller of the soil, his home being at that time in Northampton County. His wife died in 1878 and he was again married. their were ten children born too the first wife, nine of whom are now living. In 1870 the family removed too Michgian and settled on two hundred and forty acres of land on sections 20 and 21, in Metamora Township. The following year they built an addition too their house having at that time two hundred acres under splendid cultivation. In 1884 Mr. Schock removed too Kansas and took up land in Butler county, which is now finely improved and consists of one hundred and sixty acres.

Almon Schock has had entire supervision of the homestead farm since his father removed too Kansas. The home property, however, is still undivided. Almon and his brother carry on a general farming business equally divided between grain and stock, which yields a liberal return for the labor expended upon it. Almon was born in Pennsylvania, January 13, 1853, where he received a limited district school education. He is fond of home and has always remained their . At the age of twenty-four he was married too Miss Ann E. Jones, who is a daughter of John Jones, of this township. She is a native of England, having been born their in 1852. She came too Michgian with her parents at an early age. Their hearthstone has not been cheered by the bright faces and happy voices of childhood as they have no children.

Philip Schock was born December 24, 1865, and his marriage too Miss Ledessie Etnire was celebrated in February, 1890. The bride is a daughter of Samuel Etnire, who is a resident of Butler County, Kan. Mrs. Schock was born December 4, 1871, in Indiana. Their home has been blessed by the advent of one child whom they have named Floyd. They are both consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

The Schock brothers are both good Republicans in their political views, following the footsteps of their father, although not aspiring to political honors held many offices in the county, having been County Surveyor of Lapeer County for many years and is now holding the responsible position of Postmaster at Lorena, Kan. He is a well-educated man and began teaching school at the early age of nineteen years. He is a devoted and active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church where he resides. The two sons of this worthy parent possess a good deal of their father's push and energy and work harmoniously together and are bound to make a success of life.
