   FRANK W. MINTON, the present genial proprietor of the Howard House, at
Litchfield, is the son of William L. and Louisa C. (Hull) Minton, and was born in
Brocton, Chautauqua county, N. Y., May 7, 1854. His mother was a descendant of one
of the pioneer families of the Mohawk Valley.

   Frank remained in his native town until he was fifteen years of age, and then
came to Rice county, Minn., where he lived with an uncle for a time. He removed from
there to Chicago, whither his parents had gone, and entering the office of the
Pullman Palace Car Co., remained there employed for seven years. Taking charge of a
palace car running between St. Louis and Minneapolis at the end of that time, he
continued in that species of employment for two years and a half, but his health
having become somewhat impaired he left the road. He entered the law office of
Perkins & Whipple, of Northfield, Minn., where he remained some eighteen months. He
then went on the road as traveling salesman for the Champion Reaper Co., and was
with that corporation for the succeeding two years, after which he came to
Litchfield, and assumed the charge of the Howard House, as landlord, May 1, 1884.

   Frank W. Minton and Miss Mattie Knight were united in the bonds of marriage, May
20, 1884. The lady is a native of Canada, but at the time of her marriage a resident
of Meeker county.
