FRANK HEYWOOD - Vol III, pg 576-579
An admirable type of the thoroughgoing American business man is Frank Heywood, a
Minneapolis manufacturer, who was born in the town of Rutland, Massachusetts,
July 8, 1857. He attended the public schools of his native city to the age of
fourteen years, after which he spent a year as a student in Lowell,
Massachusetts. He then learned the trade of paper box making, at which he worked
until he attained his majority, but desirous of improving his education, he then
entered the Phillips Acad­emy, in which he pursued a four years' course, working
his way through the academy. At the end of his course he found himself with a
good knowledge of the classics, French and English, but with little financial
resource. His father had died when the son, Frank, was but three years of age
and he has depended upon his own resources in every way from early youth. The
west presented an irresistible appeal to him and upon borrowed money he came to
Minneapolis. Here he improved every opportunity that came his way and in 1882
organized the Heywood Manufacturing Company, which was incorporated in 1896,
since which time Frank Heywood has been the president and manager. This company
is engaged in the manufacture of paper boxes and envelopes of all kinds,
commercial and special, and maintains a printing department in connection
therewith. They have a paper mill at Rockford, Illinois, where they make their
paper-box board and also containers. The business was started in a modest way by
Mr. Heywood and under his direction and control has grown to large dimensions,
constituting today one of the important manufacturing and commercial enterprises
of the city. It represents, however, only a part of Mr. Heywood's success, for
he is also interested in other concerns, both industrial and financial. He is
the president of the Rockford Paper Box Company, is a director of the Mercantile
State Bank of Minneapolis, is a director of the Lake Worth First National Bank,
of which he was also one-of the organizers, and in addition he owns a large farm
at Gull Lake, Minne­sota. He calls farming his occupation, for he spends the
summer months in his cottage on Gull Lake and gives personal supervision to his
farm, which is conducted along the most progressive lines. Whatever he
undertakes seems to prosper, for back of it is indefatigable energy and
determination, guided by sound judgment and shaped by a thoroughly reliable
policy.
In August, 1885, Mr. Heywood was married to Miss Blanche Morrill and they have
two daughters, Hazel F. and Ruth. The former is now the wife of D. L. Dickinson
of Excelsior, Minnesota, while Ruth is the wife of C. E. Carlson of the same
place.
Mr. Heywood is a thirty-second degree Mason. He belongs to Ark Lodge, A. F. & A.
M.; Minneapolis Council, R. & S. M.; Minneapolis Consistory, A. & A. S. R.; and
Zuhrah Temple of the Mystic Shrine. His clubs are the Interlachen Golf and the
Manufacturers clubs, and he also has membership in the Minneapolis Civic &
Commerce Association. His recreation he finds on his farm in the summer, while
the winter months he spends in Florida, where he also has property interests. In
politics he is a republican and takes a warm interest in the success of his
party both in Minneapolis and nationally. For eight years, from 1911 to 1918, he
was a member of the city council, representing the eighth ward. In every way he
is an admirable type of the thorough American, successful, liberal,
broad-minded, progressive, a loyal friend and a courteous gentleman.
