General Notes: Husband - Dr. John Schoch


He spent his early years on a farm, his education being begun in the district schools near his old home. He also attended the academy at Freeburg for a time, and at the age of fourteen he became a clerk in a store. A few years later he went west, where he traveled for two years, and on his return he located at Selins Grove and began the study of dentistry. He answered Gov. Curtin's emergency call for aid in 1863, and became a member of Company I, 30th Regiment, under Capt. A. C. Simpson; the regiment was stationed at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and our subject served in all about six weeks, when he was honorably discharged.
After he returned to Selins Grove from the west, he remained there, practicing his profession successfully.
The family was identified with the Lutheran Church, the Doctor and his wife being prominent members, and he was a stanch supporter of the principles and policy of the Republican party.
