A Tale of Two Schencks

One of my Dad's cousins sent me an obit for someone who passed away this week in Clinton County at the age of 80. The person's maiden name was Schenck.

That's quite curious, since my great grandfather Schenck lived in Clinton County when he died in 1930. This person was born in 1936 in Clinton County.
