SHOOK for many years proprietor of the tannery in Unity village, which was established as early as 1843 or 1844, is now retired from that business and conducts a farm of 40 acres in Unity township. He is one of the substantial citizens of the village, where he still has numerous business interests. Mr. Shook was born at Middlesex, Pennsylvania, and is a son of Charles and Margaret (Brooks) Shook, and grandson of John Shook, who was a soldier during the War of 1812. John Shook was located near Youngstown, Ohio, in Mahoning County, at a time when the country was sparsely settled and Indians roamed about over the land. He lived there until his death, engaged in farming, although in early life he followed the trade of a ship carpenter, which he had learned in his native country, Germany. His marriage with Annie Wilson, a lady of Irish parentage, resulted in the following offspring; Charles, Calvin, Hazel, Martin, Rachel and Mary, all of whom grew to maturity. Charles Shook was reared on a farm near Middlesex, Pennsylvania, and at an early date learned the trade of a tanner under his uncle, Dr. Michelltree. He came to Unity village in 1853, and was thereafter connected with the tannery and shoe manufactory until his retirement from active business in 1873. He was identified with the tannery of William Hoffstott and J. Young, who also conducted a general store, and he later engaged in business for himself, tanning leather and manufacturing shoes. At one time there were as high as 20 shoemakers in Unity, and their output was sufficient for the whole county. When Charles Shook assumed charge of the business, he shipped the output to Pittsburg and other distant points. Upon quitting this business, he retired to a farm adjoining the village, where he thereafter resided until his death in 1883. He was married to Margaret Brooks, who was born at Cape May and died in Youngstown in 1899. This union was blessed with the following offspring: Sarah, deceased, who was the wife of Dr. E. Greenmyer; Annie, wife of Oliver Heck; Louise, deceased, who was the wife of Dr. McDonald; Rachel; John W.; Elizabeth, wife of D. C. King; Frank; Eliza, wife of Peter Bower, of Allegheny, Pennsylvania; and Charles. John W. Shook was 15 months old when his parents moved from Middlesex, Pennsylvania, to Unity township, Columbiana County, Ohio, and here he was reared to maturity. He attended public schools and at an early date learned the trade of a tanner in the tannery of his father, which was established about 1843 as aforesaid. He succeeded his father as proprietor of this tannery, which he conducted with uninterrupted success until his retirement in recent years. He grew up with the business learning it in all its details, and it was this thorough intimacy with the business which enabled him to achieve business success. He has a farm of 40 acres in Unity township, which he supervises and is interested in the Unity telephone line. Mr. Shook was united in marriage with Miss A. Martin, a daughter of Elijah Martin, who was of one of the pioneer families of the county. Three children have been born to them: Clark S. and W. W., who are tanners by trade; and O. D. All are well educated and holding responsible positions. Mr. Shook has been considerably interested in local politics and has served about 10 years as school trustee, also 10 years as township trustee. He frequently has been chosen delegate to county conventions.
