JOHN F. FRAKES, owner and proprietor of the St. Cloud Hotel at Brandenburg, Ky.,
was born in 1835, in Harrison County, Ind. His father, Jacob Frakes, was a
native of Hardin County, Ky., where he was reared, but in early manhood he
removed to Harrison County, Ind., where he married Miss Mary Ann Scott, a
native of Pennsylvania. John F. is the fifth of their family of ten
children, and was reared to maturity in his native county, where he devoted
himself to the pursuits of the farm until 1871, when he removed to
Brandenburg, Ky., at which time, in connection with I. Malin, he built the
St. Cloud Hotel, of which he has since been the proprietor. In 1864 he
married Miss Eliza Malin, daughter of Basil B. and Anna Malin. She was born
in Breckinridge County, Ky., in 1835. Mrs. (Malin) Frakes was a most
estimable lady, universally beloved; united with the Baptist Church when
twelve years old, and in that faith she trustingly died on the 14th of
September, 1882. In 1884 Mr. Frakes contracted a marriage with Miss Carrie
Drury, daughter of Thomas Drury, who, in life, was a highly esteemed citizen
of Breckinridge County. Mr. Frakes, while not wealthy, has, by industry and
economy, procured a good property and enjoys the confidence of a large
circle of acquaintances. Of the ten children of his father's family, Kittie,
Harvey, Jennie, Sallie, Scott and Olivia are dead. William Frakes, the
eldest of the family, is a resident of Meade County. Maggie is the wife of
Howard Roberts, of Indiana, and Fannie, the youngest child, is the wife of
Henry Brandenburg, of Illinois.
