Joseph S. Shock
Section 6, is a native of Audrain county, Missouri. He was born before the organization of the county, on June 6, 1830. His father, Henry Shock, was born in Kentucky in 1802. He came to Missouri in 1820. He and his wife, Mary Shock, nee Jackson, had sixteen children; John, Thomas P., Jos.S., Permelia Ann, Mary Jane, James H., Lucinda, William D., Daniel P., Lydia M., Sarah, Alonzo V., Emily, Theodore, Robert A., and Milton P. Mr Shock is one of the most successful and energetic farmers of Wilson township. As a man and citizen he has ever held a high place in the esteem and confidence of the people. Public spirited and enterprising, he is looked upon as a leader in the community in all movements designed for good. He has served for a term as constable. On January 13, 1857, he married Miss Martha Mayes of Missouri, daughter of Beverly S. Mayes of Kentucky. Her character was singularly amiable and gentle but God had ordained that she was not to be of this world, and called her to her happier home on November 16, 1857. She left one little boy, Zachariah T., born October 14, 1857, to the care of her beloved husband.
Mr. Shock was married the second time on the 28th of February, 1861, to Miss Belinda Mayes, of Audrain county, Missouri, daughter of William W. Mayes, a native of Kentucky and Elizabeth Barnes, of Randolph county, Missouri, who had six children, Mrs. Shock included. By this last marriage, Mr. Shock became the father of six children, viz., Mary E., born July 16, 1864; Annie Eliza, born September 6, 1876; Martha E., born March 6, 1871; Robert F., born March 17, 1873; Julia F., born August 26, 1876; and Joseph Elmer, born May 29, 1880. This happy family reside on the farm, which contains 300 acres; 240 are improved, with good orchard and out-door buildings. Mr. Shock trades in and owns some thoroughbred stock. He served for six months in the militia service during the late war and lost property to the amount of $500 during that period, for which the government failed to compensate him. Mr. and Mrs. Shock are members of the Missionary Baptist Church.
