				FRANK H. WEATHERWAX. 

	Frank H. Weatherwax, a progressive and enterprising young 
business man of Sioux Falls, well known as the proprietor of a first 
class clothing store, was born in Spring Mountain, Ohio, May 13, 1887, 
a son of George A. and Sarah Ellen (Hewn) Weatherwax. In the 
acquirement of an education he attended Kenyon Military Academy at 
Gambier, Ohio, graduating from this institution in 1904. He afterward 
attended Kenyon College, from which he was graduated in 1908, and two 
years later he removed to Sioux Falls, opening the clothing store which 
he has since conducted. He has a modern establishment and controls a 
large and representative patronage, for he keeps only goods of high 
quality and follows always the most practical and progressive methods. 

	On the 26th of January, 1911, at Springboro, Pennsylvania, Mr. 
Weatherwax was united in marriage to Miss Donna M. King and both are 
well known in social circles of Sioux Falls. Mr. Weatherwax is a member 
of the Methodist Episcopal church, gives his political allegiance to 
the republican party and belongs to the Masons, the Knights of Pythias 
and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Although still a young man he 
has already met with excellent success in the conduct of his interests 
and, being ambitious and enterprising, he will undoubtedly be carried 
forward into still more important relations with the business life of 
the community.
