Frank W. LIVENGOOD.

Frank W. Livengood, of Gebhart, comes of German ancestry and is presumably 
descended from the Rev. Peter Livengood, a native of the Fatherland, who 
emigrated to Pennsylvania about the middle of the eighteenth century and 
settled, after some removals, in Elk Lick township, where Jacob S. Livengood, 
probably a descendant, was born and led the life of a farmer.  Archibald 
Livengood, son of Jacob S. Livengood, was born in 1843 in Elk Lick township, 
and, like his father, has passed his life in devotion to agricultural pursuits.  
He married Sarah Snyder, born in 1854 in Elk Lick township, and the following 
children were born to them: Lloyd; Alice; Anna Mae; Vestie; Frank W., see 
forward; Charles; Carrie; and Sadie.
Frank W. Livengood, son of Archibald and Sarah (Synder) Livengood, was born 
December 20, 1884, in Milford township, and received his education in the common 
schools of his native place.  At the age of nineteen he left school and engaged 
for a time in farming and mining.  In March, 1903, he purchased the general 
store at Gebhart, which he has since conducted, also keeping the postoffice.
