The following biography from the book “History of Hamilton County, Iowa, Volume 2” by Jesse W. Lee, S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, 1912. EMMETT A. ROTHROCK Emmett A. Rothrock has given his energies and activities for many years to scientific agriculture. He is now cultivating one hundred and twenty acres of choice land in sections 10 and 11, Liberty township, Hamilton County, Iowa, and his success is the evidence of his well directed and intelligent labors. Mr. Rothrock was born in Butler county, in this state, on December 25, 1865, and his early life was spent upon a farm. His parents were Isaac and Mary (Snee) Rothrock, natives of Pennsylvania, where his father was born in Mifflin county and his mother in Union county on September 10, 1833. She was the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Fisher) Snee, both of them were natives of Union county, Pennsylvania, where they made their home and passed away. The elder Mr. Rothrock followed farming all during his active life, first in his native state and later in Butler county, Iowa. He and a brother participated in the Civil war. He spent his last years upon his property in Liberty township, Hamilton county, and died there in 1897. His wife survives him and makes her home upon her husband’s farm. In their family were eight children, seven of whom are living, as follows: Mrs. Mary Lenhart, a resident of California; Sarah, living in Webster City, Iowa; Willis, whose home is in Minnesota: Emmett A., of this review; Mrs. Emma Elmira Stanton, a twin sister of Emmett A., who lives in Minnesota; Ellen, residing with her mother in Liberty township; and Mrs. Ada Welch, of Webster City. The family came to Hamilton county in 1882 and Emmett A. Rothrock has been a resident of this section since that time. His life has been identified with agriculture from an early period. He assisted his father upon the home farm when the family resided in Butler county and during the winter terms he attended school. When his parents moved to Liberty township Mr. Rothrock remained with his father, aiding in all of the farm work and becoming familiar with every detail of agriculture. His efforts in his independent career have been steadily successful and he is now the owner of one hundred and twenty acres of choice land in Sections 10 and 11, Liberty township. The farm which he is cultivating is one of the valuable properties in the district and is thoroughly equipped with all that is essential to a successful conduct of a modern agricultural undertaking. Mr. Rothrock has given his time and attention to its detail and has won that prosperity which is the natural result of system and progressive methods. In February, 1897, Mr. Rothrock united in marriage to Miss Lillie Blackmore, a native of Woodford county, Illinois, where her birth occurred October 28, 1866. Her father, John Blackmore, was a native of England and came to America at an early day. He died in Illinois on June 16, 1884, when he was fifty-seven years of age. Mrs. Rothrock’s mother, who in her maidenhood Miss Elizabeth Runbelow (sic), was also born in Great Britain and died in Illinois on June 28, 1885, when she had reached the age of fifty-three years. She and her husband were the parents of twelve children, nine sons and three daughters, namely: John, deceased; James, residing at Paxton, Illinois; William, whose home is in Minnesota; Mrs. Sarah Gard, living near El Paso, Illinois; Eli, of Panoli, Illinois; Emma, who died in earl life; Albert, residing near Panoli, Illinois; Lincoln, whose home is near El Paso, Illinois; Mrs. Rothrock; Charles, living near Panoli; Mrs. Hattie Agnew, whose home is also near El Paso; and Grant, who has also passed away. All of the children were born in Illinois. In his political beliefs Mr. Rothrock is consistently republican and while he has never sought public office he performs the duties of his citizenship conscientiously. He has done able and efficient work as township clerk in Liberty for eleven years and has made a good record as public official. He and his family affiliate with the Congregational Church in Blairsburg. In his systematic labors, in his straight-forward, honorable and reliable business policy and in the high stands of attainment by which he directs his activities, Mr. Rothrock is worthy of the high esteem in which he is held by his fellow citizens and in him modern agricultural finds a worthy and successful representative.
