Sebastian Schockling became a naturalized American citizen in Washington Co., PA in 1844.
When the family of Matthias Schockling moved to Ohio, Sebastian stayed behind in Pittsburgh. He was apprenticed to the glass blower's trade at a young age.
After Matthias Schockling purchased two 80 acre plots in Enoch Twp., he sold one to his son Sebast. Records for that transaction have not been found. Sebast sold the 80 acre parcel to his sister and brother-in-law, Mary Ann and August Witzberger in a transaction dated 19 Apr 1854.
Sebast met and married the widow Sarah McDonough Laughran, who had two young daughters. He had to leave the glass blowing profession in July 1856 due to a strike. He then decided to move out west and try is fortune at farming.
Sebastian, Sarah and her two daughters left Pittsburgh for Iowa on 2 Apr 1857. He arrived at the home of his brother-in-law, John McDonough, in Jackson Twp., Clarke County, Iowa on 26 Apr 1856. Sebast became a very successful farmer, eventually acquiring over 1000 acres of land.
"The History of Clarke County Iowa" (1886 edition) spells Sebastian's surname Shockling" while his obituary from the Osceola Democrat spell his surname "Shochling"
On the afternoon of December 16, 1899, Sebastian was walking home from town in Osceola, Iowa when he was struck by a train. He died of his injuries a few days later. His obituary appeared in the Osceola Democrat:
SEBASTIAN SHOCHLING
Thursday afternoon when the K. & W. train coming north at 3:53 p.m. reached the crossing near Mr. Hennessy’s building in south Osceola, it struck Mr. Shochling on the right temple cutting a gash of two to three inches and throwing him twenty feet from the crossing where he lay with his head under a culvert. Seeing a man struck, Guy Sherwood had a stop made and he was picked up. Mr. Doss, with whom he had walked down on the way homeward from town, had parked with him a moment before the accident and came to assist. They put him on the train and brought him up to the K. & W. Depot, then had Dr. Holland brought with all possible haste. The injuries at first did not appear very serious, those beside the one on the temple being a few cuts and bruises on the top of the head and upper part of the forehead. It is supposed serious internal injuries were received, but no one knows. He died of coma from shock at 6 o’clock Saturday evening. He fell into the comatose condition gradually, beginning at noon Friday. He was carried home as soon the first brief examination was finished at the depot, and talked freely of the accident through the night, but could not tell clearly how it happened.
Mr. Shochling was born at Belfort, in Alsace Lorraine, June 16, 1821 and at six years of age came to America, and lived at Pittsburg with his parents, and learned his father’s trade of glass blower, at which he worked until a strike in 1856 displaced him. He came to Iowa in 1857 and settled in Jackson township. Here the family lived till about eight years since, when they moved to Osceola. On April 26, 1857, he was married to Mrs. Sarah McDounough Laughren, and with her lived happily until her death a few years ago. Two daughters, Miss Anna and Mrs. Marie Emary are the children of this marriage. Two daughters of his wife’s by her former marriage had been affectionately reared and regarded him as a parent. One has died, but her son, Hubert Spencer, and the daughter of the other, both of Creston, attended the funeral. In his youth in Pittsburg, he had sing in the choir of St. Paul’s Cathedral and a musician he was all his life. Music was his greatest joy.
During all his life among us he has maintained a high character for integrity and good citizenship. He has an unyielding will when once his mind was made up and it carried him with bravery through difficulties. He was possessed of a fund of humor, and many qualities that made him a cheerful companion, so he had been, for years, one of a coterie of retired farmers and business men who discourse on every kind of topic daily, in their familiar haunts uptown. It was probably on his way home from one of these pleasant meetings that he was crossing the track on this fatal occasion.
He had always been a faithful member of the Catholic church. Father Waldron, of Charlton, came to him in his extremity, and at his funeral in the Catholic church Monday morning preached to the large concourse assembled to mark their respect for the old man’s memory. The interment was made in the Catholic Cemetery at Woodburn.
Sarah was the widow of John Laughran, who lost his life in a heroic attempt to save a friend from drowning in the Allegheny River in the spring of 1851.
Married and moved to California.
