General Notes: Husband - Jacob Frank
He came to Ligonier, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, with his parents in 1839. He followed the occupation of a farmer until 1849, when he opened a small grocery and bakery in Ligonier, which he carried on until 1861, when he removed with his family to Shelby County, Illinois. The fever and ague drove him from the West, and after a few months' residence there, he returned to Ligonier and again engaged in the grocery and confectionery business. He and his family also kept the Glessner House in Ligonier from 1867 to 1872. He built a large house which is yet standing in 1918 on the southwest corner of Fairfield and Loyalhanna streets, which he immediately opened as a summer hotel. He is entitled to the credit of first engaging in the summer resort business while keeping the Glessner House in Ligonier, a business which did so much for the town and its vicinity and given to it and the Ligonier Valley an exceptionally high standing in that line in Western Pennsylvania.
General Notes: Wife - Nancy Underwood
In her early days she was a student in the Clark Seminary, which flourished in Ligonier, Pennsylvania, in the eighteen-forties. After leaving the seminary she became a teacher in Fairfield township, in the days when women teachers were almost unknown. Her former pupils came to see her when they were old men and much nearer the grave than she. In her young womanhood in the eighteen-sixties she was very delicate, and most physicians in consultation agreed that she was in the last stages of consumption [tuberculosis] and that she would scarcely survive the falling of the autumn leaves. Her energy and her determination to live for her family forbade her giving up, and probably saved her life. She was a member of the Methodist church, and one of regular attendance until advancing years made it impossible. When almost ninety years old she sustained an injury by falling, from which her well-worn constitution could not recover.
