Augustus Shook son of Augustus Shook, Sr. and Wilhemena Keen. Augustus Sr was killed by a falling tree in Michigan. Wilhemena was married twice and died in Detroit, Michigan. Both were born in Germany. You will find the name of SHOOK spelled with an "S" as SHOOKS. The story goes that Augustus Shooks used this spelling of his name until World War I. Upon receiving his birth certificate, he found the actual spelling of his name was Shook, so he began using that spelling. His children continued using the name, Schooks, since their birth certificates were registered using that spelling.
