Mr. Brothers has been a successful farmer and is now the owner of one hundred and seventy acres of excellent land in Harrison county. Born in Iowa, Mr. Brothers was brought here from Wayne county by his parents when he was four years of age and he has resided here since that time. Frank Brothers was born on November 10, 1860, in Wayne county, Iowa, the son of John T. and Mary A. (Jones) Brothers, the former a native of North Carolina and the latter of Indiana. The Brothers family is of English descent, Thomas Brothers, the paternal grandfather of Frank, having been born in that country, probably in Yorkshire. The maternal grandfather of Frank Brothers was Nathan Jones, a native of Kentucky. John T. and Mary A. Brothers were the parents of two sons, W. H. and Frank, the subject of this sketch. They came to Harrison county, Iowa, when Frank was four years of age and located on a farm in section 36 of Cincinnati township, where they lived the remainder of their days. Frank Brothers received his education in the public schools of Harrison county and remained on the home farm, assisting his father, until he was married. When he was twenty-two years of age he had bought a farm in St. John township, and it was to this farm that he moved immediately after his marriage. He lived there for two years and then sold it and bought his present place in section 25, of Cincinnati township, where he has resided since that time. Mr. Brothers does general farming, but is especially interested in stock raising. He makes a specialty of Duroc-Jersey hogs and keeps some excellent horses of the Norman breed. Mr. Brothers owns one hundred and seventy acres of land, one hundred and sixty acres of which is in Cincinnati township and ten in St. John townships. His farm is well improved and its appearance bespeaks the thrift and industry of its owner. Frank Brothers was married on April 16, 1891, to Ella Morgan, who was born on March 5, 1866, in Wayne county, Indiana. She is the daughter of Edmond and Jane (Brothers) Morgan, natives of England and Scotland, respectively. To Mr. and Mrs. Brothers have been born three children, Willoughby, born on September 6, 1892, who attended the Missouri Valley high school; Mildred, born on November 9, 1896, who is a graduate of the Missouri Valley high school; and Beryl, born on September 18, 1899. All of these children are still living at home. Frank Brothers is identified with the Republican party, although he has never been an aspirant for office. However, he has served as township treasurer and held other minor offices. He and his family are supporters of the Presbyterian church, although they are not members of any denomination. Mr. Brothers is a member of the Free and Accepted Masons and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He and his wife are members of the Daughters of Rebekah and the Order of the Eastern Star. The Brothers family are well known throughout this township and county and are well liked by all who know them. source of biographical sketch: “History of Harrison County, Iowa: its people, industries and institutions, with biographical sketches of representative citizens and genealogical records of many of the old families”, 1915, pages 953 - 954
