REV. FRANK E. MALLORY.

    REV. FRANK E. MALLORY, pastor of the Christian (Disciples) Church Topeka,
Kansas, was born at Franklin, Pennsylvania, June 4, 1865, and is a son of
Russell and Elizabeth (Shearer) Mallory.

    The Mallory family came from Pennsylvania to Jewell County, Kansas, about
1879, settling on a tract of 160 acres where the father carried on general
farming for some years. He now resides at Jewell City where his wife died May 8,
1898. The family consisted of 10 children, the survivors being: Jennie, wife of
A. J. Wise, of Pennsylvania; David C, of Atchison, Kansas; James M., a farmer of
Jamestown, Kansas; Elmira, of Jewell City; Frank E., of this sketch; George W.,
of Jewell City; Clayton, of Mankato, Kansas ; and John C, of Concordia, Kansas.
Our subject accompanied the family to Kansas and lived in Jewell County until
1883, when he graduated from the High School. In 1893 he came to Topeka. For one
year he served as general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association at
Atchison. In September, 1893, the Christian (Disciples) Church was organized at
Topeka, with a membership of 429, and on October 1st Mr. Mallory was invited to
become its first pastor. He has continued in this relation to the present time
and the encouraging condition in which this little body of earnest men and women
find themselves is mainly due to his untiring energy and faithful stewardship.
In 1894 the church edifice, which is situated at Third and Lake streets, was
erected to seat 1,000 persons, and it is almost entirely paid for. In connection
with the Christian (Disciples) Church is a Sunday-school of 300 members, the
Ladies' Auxiliary to the C. W. B. M. and the Ladies' Aid Society, all these
organizations being in a flourishing condition.

    On August 12, 1884, Rev. Mr. Mallory was married to Mary Gladfelter, of
Nortonville, Kansas, who is a daughter of Wesley and Henrietta (Berry)
Gladfelter, who are engaged in farming.

    Rev. Mr. Mallory has been a member of the Topeka Board of Education for six
years and has been its president for the past three years. He has always been
identified with educational and religious progress here. His fraternal relations
are with Topeka Lodge, No. 40, I. O. O. F., and Sunflower Camp, No. 536, Modern
Woodmen of America.
