ALFRED FRANKEBERGER, farmer, Sec. 27: P. O. Ellsworth; owns 162 acres of excellent farm land; was born in Champaign Co., Ohio, Sept. 16, 1828; came with his parents from Ohio to McLean Co., Ill., when he was but eight months old; lived with them on the farm until 23 years of age; engaged with his father in farming, until married to Elizabeth Dunning, Dec. 24, 1850; she was born in Monroe Co., Ind., Dec. 5, 1825; they have had four children — John M. and Eliza J., now wife of Henry Inglish, of Padua, and two infants deceased. His father was one of the early pioneers of McLean Co., as there were but about three or four families in the county when he arrived; hence he is one who helped the county from a wilderness to its present prosperous condition. He still resides on the farm which his father entered and lived on until his death; has held the office of School Director one year, Commissioner of Highways one term, and is a very industrious, economical and energetic man, and respected in the neighborhood where he resides.
