FRANK J. HAMMILL - Vol III, pg 82
Frank J. Hammill is well known in the business circles cf Minneapolis as
president of the E. A. Pynch Company. He was born in Richmond, Indiana, a son of
James H. and Annie (Greffer) Hammill, the former a native of Ohio.
Frank J. Hammill received his preliminary education in the public schools of his
birthplace and came to Minneapolis in 1905. He was active in various clerical
positions until he became secretary of the Strong-Scctt Company, an association
he maintained for eight years. At the termination of that time he bought into
the E. A. Pynch Com­pany and since October, 1921, he has been president of this
business, which was estab­lished by E. A. Pynch in 1912, and has for its purpose
the furnishing of equipment supplies to flour mills and elevators. The plant is
large and well equipped and the company enjoys an extensive patronage, its trade
extending throughout the Northwest. Mr. Hammill is well fitted to discharge the
duties devolving upon him as chief executive and he has closely applied himself
to the business, giving each department his personal supervision. The success he
has achieved is well merited and the high regard and esteem in which he is held
by his fellowmen is expressive of his real character and clearly indicates the
value of his citizenship.
Mr. Hammill's aid can always be counted upon in the furtherance of any movement
for the upbuilding of the community. His religious faith is that of the Catholic
church and fraternally he is identified with the Knights of Columbus, in which
order he has attained the fourth degree.
