At the close of the Civil War, Benjamin Mauk left home. Family lore has it that he changed the spelling of his name at that time to "MOCK". Benjamin took up residence in Farlinville, Linn County Kansas. This is a photo of the town c. 1900. Benjamin's home would be one of the buildings on the right side of the photo.
