SCHENCK, Noah Hunt, clergyman, born in Pennington, Mercer County, New Jersey, 30 June, 1825; died in Brooklyn, New York, 4 January, 1885. He was graduated at Princeton in 1844, studied law in Trenton, New Jersey, was admitted to the bar in 1847, and practised there till 1848, when he removed to Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1851 he abandoned his profession for the ministry, and after graduation at the theological seminary in Gambler, Ohio, in 1853, took orders in the Protestant Episcopal church. After having charge of parishes in Ohio, Chicago, Illinois, and Baltimore, Maryland, he was called in 1869 to St. Ann's, Brooklyn, New York, where he remained till his death. The new church building, one of the finest in Brooklyn, was erected early in Dr. Schenck's rectorship, and in 1879 he succeeded in freeing it froth debt. Dr. Schenck was active in the missionary work of his church, sat for many years in its general convention, and in 1871 went to St. Petersburg as one of a delegation of three from the Evangelical alliance to memorialize the czar in favor of Russian dissenters. Princeton gave him the degree of D. D. in 1865. Dr. Schenck founded and edited "The Western Churchman" during his pastorate in Chicago, and in 1867 became co-editor of "The Protestant Churchman" in New York. He was the author of numerous published sermons and addresses, of which a collection has appeared in book-form (New York, 1885). A memorial of him was issued by the wardens and vestry of St. Ann's church, including an address by Bishop Littlejohn (Brooklyn, 1885).
