   FRANKLIN P. JARRELL, merchant at Marco, Ind., is a native of Greene County,
where he was born December 13, 1852, one of three children born to James and
Elizabeth (Thomas) Jarrell, who were among the pioneers of Greene County. Frank,
the subject of this sketch, received a common school education from the country
schools of his county, and in early life followed farming for his mother, his
father having died, leaving him at the age of nine years to her care. In
September, 1870, he was married to Miss L. A. Wilson, who died in January, 1872.
In February, 1874, he began doing a general merchandise business at Marco, and
on September 17 of the same year, he was united in matrimony to Lucy A. Vickery,
of Greene County, and to them have been born two children— James O. and Eugene
P., only Eugene living. He is a member of the I. O. O. F., at Pleasantville,
Ind., and has been Noble Grand in that order. His politics is Democratic, and he
always takes active interest in public affairs, and in 1880 was candidate for
State Representative, and was defeated by but a small majority. In May, 1883, he
was admitted to the bar in the Greene Circuit Court, and has practiced more or
less for ten years before the Justice of the Peace. He is doing a thriving trade
at Marco, and is the leading merchant there, where he enjoys the confidence and
high opinion of all its citizens.
