General Notes: Husband - Jacob Schoch

---

He was reared on his father's farm in Middle Creek township, Snyder County, Pennsylvania, and became a blacksmith by trade. After the death of his father, in the division of his estate the lands on which the town of Smith Grove is now built, and considerable of it adjacent thereto, fell to Jacob.
He was a thrifty and frugal man, and by close attention to business throughout life prospered greatly, becoming well-to-do. He built the first house erected in the town of Smith Grove [Kreamer], which event occurred in 1822, this building being the "stone hotel," there. He there resided, farming and keeping hotel, until his death. [CBRCP-CCUS, 1057]

He was a prosperous farmer and blacksmith, and owned a large amount of real estate which he sold to his sons as they reached maturity. He was a small man, but possessed much strength and energy, and reached the good old age of seventy-nine. In religious faith he was a Lutheran. [CBRCP-CCUS, 934]
