King Ben bishop's office notes the 59 year old Gerken, nine years in priesthood, as a testament to his character. Born in Dyersville in 1887, he moved to Texas as a teacher, led Scotland school in Archer county, studied at Kendrick Seminary in St. Louis, and was ordained in Dallas in June 1918 by Bishop Lynch. Nine years later, again in Dallas, he was raised to bishop by the same prelate.
