General Notes: Husband - George Schenck

---

He was born in the borough of Butler, Butler County, Pennsylvania. There he grew to manhood, and learned the carpen-ter's trade with H. Bauer & Co., of Butler. He followed his trade for two years and then went into business for himself as a contractor and builder. He after-wards became a member of the firm of H. Bauer & Company, at Herr's Island, Allegheny County, and two years later returned to Butler and became senior member of the firm of Schenck Brothers. They dissolved in 1891, after which time Mr. Schenck carried on business alone.
The family was connected with the Lutheran church, and he was a member of the church council. He embarked in the oil business in 1890, and followed producing for one year. He was one of the well-known contractors and builders of the county, and among the buildings erected by him were: Springdale school, St. Peter's Catholic school, St. Paul's Catholic school and convent, the postoffice, Diamond, Huselton and Troutman blocks, the Stein, Aldinger, Baldauf, and Campbell & Templeton store buildings; also the Armory building, and the Scien-tific Hall at New Wilmington.
