WILLIAM R. FRAME

William R. Frame, farmer and stock raiser, Parkersburg. Old Uncle William Frame came to this township as early as 1828. He was some of those men of sterling worth who, when they enter a new country, at once begin to look after its moral and religious interests. William Robert Frame, the subject of this sketch, is his grandson and was born on Sept 6, 1851, in Scott Township, and was like his father and grandfather reared a farmer. During his youth he received a fair common school education. He was marr. June 24, 1875 to Miss Mary A, d/o Mr. Thomas S. and Mary A. (Points) Doyle, and was born in this county Aug 22, 1858. They have two children: Charley W and Minnie A, a very intelligent child in Feb 1880, became afflicted with spinal disease and now, in August 1880 is unable to walk, though her parents are using every means that money can procure for her restoration, having her treated by eminent physicians, both here and in Indianapolis. Mr. Frame's parents were George W. and Betsey (LaFollett) Frame, the former dying Jan 26, 1863 and the latter still living. Mr. Frame has a fine farm of 160 acres and a very nice residence.
