Frank Shock, the
son and a partner in the grocery business, was born February 2, 1904, in
Clay City, and like his father, with the exception of about three years when
he had employment with the American Steel Foundry in East St. Louis, has
continuously lived in Clay City. He went to St. Louis directly after
finishing school and almost immediately after his return home entered the
grocery business with his father in February, 1926.
For the benefit
of anyone who might be interested in knowing, we might state here that Frank
isn't married, except to his place of business, and not quite so in that
case because Frank enjoys base ball and is frequently called upon by some
neighboring town ball clubs to help them win a game and he is able to put up
his part of a good game, too.
Both he and his father are members of
the Clay City Booster Club and are boosters for their home town.
