Frank initially worked as a carpenter in a crew from St. Florian who built some of the
homes on Wood Avenue in Florence and the old Mars Hill Church. He later farmed and
owned a lot of farm and timber land and several businesses. The businesses included
a cotton gin and flour mill in St. Florian that he purchased from Toney Rasch. The cotton
gin was initially operated by steam, with water supplied from the nearby St. Florian branch.
However, the high mineral content of the water clogged the piping. He then converted
the gin to operate from the engines of tractors.
