Frankton Then: As used to be At it’s 100th birthday in 1953, the Frankton Centennial Com- mittee described a brief history of the small town “nestled in a fertile green valley on the banks of Pipe Creek . . According to legend, Jacob Sigler founded Frankton, or at least the site, in 1820 when he “made his residence in a large hollow sycamore tree on the banks of Pipe Creek, named for Chief Pipe, an Indian of the era.” The “village dates from March 3, 1853 and was named in honor of Jacob Sigler’s el- dest son, Francis. In 1871, the village was recognized through official articles of incorporation. Frankton grew quickly. The first store was established in 1833; the post office in 1837; a mill in 1839 or 1840; the first railroad in Madison County in 1851; the Methodist Congrega- tion in 1836. In the midst of this growth Frankton developed in a typi- cal small town style as fate in- tervened to bring prosperity. In 1887 natural gas drew many new businesses to the town. The population blasted from a peaceful 600 to a bustling 2,500. Almost as suddenly as prosperity appeared, it van- ished in 1905. More than 100 homes moved from Frankton within a few years. Frankton is still a small town—or at least has the repu- tation of being so. But, it plays it’s part in bustling Madison County and the large city of Anderson nearby. In more recent history, Rob- ert Ludlow retired after 36 years as Frankton Clerk-Trea- surer and was honored on Dec. 27, 1975 as he left his fa- miliar position.

in 1961, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first American to walk on the moon. Conflict, as always, played a continuous part in the nation's history. A sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, 1941, brought the U.S. into WWII. Yet another war—in 1965 the U.S. involvement in Vietnam began. It was one of the most controversial issues in U.S. history. Recently, in 1972, Richard M. Nixon was re-elected by a landslide over George McGovern, only to resign two years later in the face of politi- cal scandal and extreme unpopularity. For the first time the Ameri- can people were led by two men not of their choosing Ger- ald Ford and Nelson Rockefeller. And that's the way it was . . .
