Bio of Frank G. Silver

FRANK G. SILVER, a public accountant with offices in the Mahoning Bank
Building at Youngstown, has built up an important clientage in his
profession.  His qualifications are based upon an unusually wide range of
individual experience in many lines of business both in Ohio and in the
eastern cities.

Mr. Silver represents an old family of the Mahoning Valley, and was born in
Berlin Township, Mahoning County, February 5, 1861, son of Allen and Julia
(Gee) Silver, who were born in the same locality.  His grandparents, Adna
Bradway and Lydia (Allen) Silver, were natives of New Jersey, where the
former was born in 1800.  They were married there about 1820, and their
honeymoon was through the western wilderness to Mahoning County, Ohio, Adna
B. walking and driving the team all the way.  He was a blacksmith by trade,
and in the early days made axes, which he marketed at Salem.  He acquired
considerable property.  He and his wife were Quakers.  The maternal
grandparents of Frank G. Silver were Peter and Elmira (Day) Gee, the former
a native of Ellsworth Township, Mahoning County, and the latter of
Connecticut, but was brought as a child by her parents to Deerfield
Township.  The father of Peter was a Methodist minister and one of the early
representatives of that church in Mahoning County.

Allen Silver became a farmer in Berlin Township, and for some years was in
the flour and feed business at Alliance, Ohio, where his wife died in 1892,
at the age of fifty-six.  He then returned to Mahoning County, and he died
at Berlin in 1910.  Of his two children his daughter, May is now Mrs.
William H. Kirkbride, of Cleveland, Ohio.

Frank G. Silver was educated in district schools, in the Canfield Union
School, and at the age of seventeen took a commercial course at Mount Green
College.  His first experience was as a bookkeeper at the Globe Foundry and
Machine Company at Niles, Ohio.

He married in February, 1883, Miss Julia Crowley, who was born in
Youngstown, daughter of Thomas and Hannah Crewley.  By this marriage there
were two children:  Warren U., of Cleveland and Blossom, who is Mrs. Robert
G. Lafferty, of Cleveland.  Mr. Silver's second wife was Mary Morgan, a
native of Youngstown, and she became the mother of one daughter, Virginia,
of Hammond, Indiana.

After his marriage, Mr. Silver remained at Niles as bookkeeper, spent three
years as bookkeeper for Girard Iron Company of Girard, Ohio, and in
Youngstown for twenty-one years he had charge of the offices of the Briar
Hill Iron and Coal Company.  Resigning, he went to New York City and engaged
in the hotel business for several years, was a broker in Philadelphia for
nine years, and in 1915 located in Cleveland, where he became a traveling
salesman.  Returning to Youngstown in 1916, he has since conducted business
as a public accountant, handling audits and doing other special work for a
number of corporations and firms.  He is a republican and a member of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and the United Commercial Travelers.
