FRANKLIN P. FEIGLEY

Franklin P. FEIGLEY, liveryman at Logan, came to Harrison County, and engaged in the livery business.

He is from the Buckeye State, born in Perry County, Ohio, December 16, 1854, and is the son of Samuel and Lydia (COLBORN) FEIGLEY, who had five children, our subject being the fourth. The children were as follows; John C., David T., James D., Franklin P., Lydia A.

Our subject remained in Ohio with his parents until he was seventeen years of age, and then went to McDonough County, Ill., where he worked by the month at farming, following this for twelve years, then came to Harrison County.

The site of his livery stable is what is known as the Lusk House livery barn, where he carries a stock of buggies, and keeps horses enough to supply the demand for livery in and about Logan.

Our subject is a single man, and a member of Chrysolite Lodge No 170, A.F. & A.M., at Logan, Iowa.

Our subject's father was a native of Pennsylvania, and of German descent. During his early years he was engaged in the produce and commission business in Cincinnati, which he followed for about twenty years, after which he removed to Perry County, Ohio, where he still resides. For many years he followed carpentering, but is now living a retired life. His wife, the mother of our subject, is a native of Maryland. Her father was John COLBORN, who was an early settler in that section.
