F. M. BROCK was born in Clark County, Ind., on the 2d of November, 1834,
being the eighth of a family of eleven children, born to George W. and
Elizabeth (McKinley) Brock.  The father was a native of Virginia, and the
mother, of Kentucky.  They removed to Indiana at a very early day, settling
in Clark County, where they remained until their deaths.  The subject of
this sketch had very limited advantages of schools, and received a meager
education, and was raised at hard work.  He remained with his parents until
he reached his twenty-second year, when he engaged in coopering.  In 1859
his marriage with Serilda Goss was solemnized, and to this union have been
born ten children, six of whom are now living:  Alexander, Ellen, Laura
(dead), Ephraim (dead), Charley, Lafayette, Kate, Mary, and two infants
(dead), unnamed.  In politics he is a stanch Republican, and by occupation,
a farmer and stock-raiser.  The township has no better citizen.
