From 1959's Pocket Congressional Directory of the Eighty-Sixth Congress
Stanley A. Prokop (July 29, 1909 – November 11, 1977) was a Democratic U.S. Representative from Pennsylvania from 1959 to 1961.
Biography [ edit ]
Born on July 29, 1909, in Throop, Pennsylvania , a community in Lackawanna County , Prokop attended Villanova University in Philadelphia.
At the beginning of World War II , he enlisted in the United States Army as a private, and was assigned to the 30th Infantry Division . He subsequently rose to the rank of captain.
Post-war, he served on the North Pococno Joint Board of Education for ten years, and was then elected to the United States Congress in 1958, defeating incumbent Republican Congressman Joseph L. Carrigg .
A one-term member, Prokop was defeated for re-election in 1960 by future Pennsylvania governor William Scranton , a moderate Republican . He was then hired as Lackawanna County's director of Veterans' Affairs, a position he held for fourteen years.
Final years, death and interment [ edit ]
Prokop moved to Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania , during his county government tenure, and remained in that job until his death on Veterans Day in 1977. His remains were interred at the St. Catherine Cemetery in Moscow, Pennsylvania .
