Notes for FRANKLIN/FRANK DAVIS MERCHANT:

 From; The History of St. Clair County, pp. 811-813

 

            Frank D. Merchant.

                                          Since 1910 Frank D. Merchant has taken up active farming and stock raising upon the farm on which he was born and where he spent his early years. When he left the farm at the age of twenty-one Mr. Merchant engaged first in the grist-mill business, later giving up that industry to enter the lumber business, and becoming an operator of magnitude in Petoskey and vicinity. He succeeded in amassing an independent fortune there in a few years, but in recent years suffered many heavy losses, on two occasions by fire, soon after which he decided to give up the business and pass the remainder of his life farming. He is comfortably established on the old homestead and is determined to make as great a success of his farming as he did with his lumber business.

                                          Frank D. Merchant was born on the farm he now owns and occupies in section 23 of Grant Township on April 22, 1855. He is the son of Dennis D. and Martha (Peckham) Merchant, the father having been born in Somerset County, Maine, the son of James S. and Olive (Davis) Merchant. James S. was born on Martha's Vineyard in 1787 and his wife in Massachusetts in 1789. They migrated in early life to St. Clair County, Michigan, settling in what is now Grant Township, on land now known as the  O'Connor farm in section 14. They entered this land from the government in 1837, securing several hundred acres in all. James Merchant labored with the true pioneer's instinct in his task of hewing out a home in the Michigan wilds, and in time he had reduced his place to an admirable state of cultivation, building him a  fine home,   which stood for  many years on the old place. In 1857 his wife died,    and after that  sad event the elder Merchant took up his abode with one of his sons.  He was a devout Christain and always a supporter of the church, as was also his wife. They were the parents of ten children-five boys and five girls.

                                            Dennis D. Merchant, their son was fourteen years of age when he came to Michigan with his parents. He was trained in the public schools of his time, and in his young manhood spent some time as a pioneer teacher in the district schools. In 1847 he was married in the    state of New York to Miss Martha Peckham,  and with his young bride came by boat from Buffalo to Lakeport, Michigan, the trip in those days taking a full week's time. He moved onto a farm of two hundred acres in what is now Grant Township, and set about improving the place to such good effect that his farm  yielded him an independent living all his life.   When he died  on October 17, 1886, it became the property of his son Frank D., who now resides there and in continuing the work his honored father started forty years prior to his death. Dennis Merchant was an honest, earnest man, conscientious in every relation of life, and highly respected and esteemed by all. He was an active worker in the Methodist Episcopol  Church, being class leader and superintendant of the Sunday-school for years.  He was the   father of six children, four of  whom are living at this writing (1912). They  are Frank D., of this review; Ida M., the wife of Wilbur Quinn, of Battle Creek, Michigan; Charles H., of the same place; andFred W. of marshall,   Michigan.

                                             Frank D. Merchant received the usual school advantages of the country boy of his time, and at an early age went to work on the farm, continuing thus until he had reached his majority. It  was  then he entered the grist-mill business, striking out for himself in life, and in that business he realized a fair degree of success. The business, however, did not entirely suit him and in 1888 he changed his occupation, annd going to Petoskey, Michigan, put all his available capitall into

the lumber business, starting a saw mill at that point, then the center of big lumber operations. He prospered in this move and succeeded in reaching a net worthh of $200,000 as a esult of his own operations. Two disasterous fires reduced his property to a great extent,  although he yet ownes some large timber holdings in the Northern Peninsula and in 1910 Mr. Merchant decided to give over the strenous life of the saw mill business and return to the quiet annd freedom of  farm life once more. He is now established on the old home place,  annd is fast becoming a factor in the business life of the community.

                                            The years in which Mr. Merchant operated in the vicinity of Petoskey were eventful ones, crowded full of strenuous activity and the adventure attendant upon carrying on business in a new and only partially developed country. Of the many thrilling experiences he underwent he cites one incident, whichh is worthy of mention here.  Mr. Merchant owned his own lumber scows which were used in forewarding lumber from his mills at Alanson, Michigann to the Cheboygan docks, and his tugs plied busily to annd fro on Croocked River hauling the  finished lumber to distribution points. The incident  related occured in 1906, in which a number of small passenger boats rann between Cheboygan,    Topinabee and Indian River and other  points of similar points of import. On one of these trips as the powerful tug "Merchant" was pasing out of Cheboygan river into Mullet lake (about twelve miles long), the captain of the Merchant espied a large tamarack pole lying with the small end pointing down river.  He remarked upon  the possible danger to small craft from the pole as they passed on.  They were scarce a half mile up the lake when they heard a disterss signal from a small passenger boat they had seen following them up river, and on looking back saw that the Luciel had struck  the tamarack  pole,  whichh  had penetrated her bottom, passing through her cabin, and all on board were in dier peril. The captain of the Merchant ordered the men on the scows to cut the tow line, which was immediatly done, and the Merchant hastened under full steam to the disabled passenger boat.  They succeeded in taking off entire crew and thirty-seven of the thirty-eight passengers, at the last moment a young girl who returned to the cabin for a valise being drawn down with the sinking steamer. Passengers and crew were landed at Dodges Point,   a small stationn at the M. C. Railroad, after which the Merchant returned to the scene of the accident nd with    grappling hooks recovered the body of the unfortunate girl and returned it to her friends. The rescued party were loud in their thanks to the captain of the Merchant and his gallant crew, and after doing for the unfortunate people the tug Merchant returned to her lumber scows annd persued her tranquil way up the river.

                                            On March 13, 1882,  Mr.   Merchant was married to Miss Ena F. Barber, born in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1862, a daughter of Dr.  L.  A. Barber.  Mr. and Mrs. Merchant are the parents of two children; Ted B. Merchant who iis secretary of  the Phoenix Engineering Company at Detriot,  Michigan, and who married  Madge Madona,  and Lloyd D. They have an adopted daugter Mary Perry, who has lived with them for a number of years.

                                             Mr. Merchant is a Republican in his political faith, and during his residence in Petoskey  he was an alderman from his ward for eight years and acting mayor for two years. At the close of hhhis last term of office as his business needed his whole attention, Mr. Merchant refused to again become a candidate for any office, and his friends in his ward presented him with a costly gold headed ebony cane, thus showing their appreciation of his services for the city of Petoskey.
