Was reared on his father's farm, located four miles south of Napoleon. Attended the public schools, at intervals; deriving his education, principally, however, through his own unaided efforts.

Having previously established himself in the merchantile business, at Napoleon, Mr. F. commences life with flattering prospects. Having youth, health, energy, and good practical judgment; sided and assisted by the wise counsel and co-operation of an estimable wife; both promising the esteem and confidence of all who know them, there is no reason why the happy couple should not pass their lives in peace and properity.
