A Schrock Family Tradition Indiana Style
In the fall of 1907, Great Grandpa Samuel Schrock homesteaded out to Colorado. He was 43 years old. Guns were an important tool for survival in the west and during the Great Depression when so many people were starving. The skill of shooting a gun has since been passed down from generation to generation. Curt bought his black powder rifle when he was around 10 or 12 years old. I've always said that he was my little Daniel Boone. Almost everyone got in on the action on New Years Day.
