Find A Grave Memorial# 59491893. PETER FRANKE is proprietor of the pioneer drug store of Newton and is a representative of one of the pioneer families of Jasper County. He is widely known, and as a progressive and valued citizen of the community deserves mention in this volume. He is a native of the town which is still his home, having first opened his eyes to the light of day February 22, 1856. His father was Dr. John G. Franke. His mother bore the maiden name of Gertrude Fischer. The former was the pioneer physician and druggist of Newton, and our subject has followed in his footsteps.
Peter Franke spent the days of his boyhood under the parental roof and acquired his primary education in the public schools of Newton, after which he attended St. Joseph's Diocesan College of Teutopolis. He also began the study of medicine and took a course of lectures at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, of Keokuk, Iowa. While a youth he was employed in his father's drug store in Newton during his vacations and leisure hours and has there continued. From 1877 he was in charge of the store, and after his father's death in 1883 he succeeded to the business as proprietor. His actual experience as a pharmacist, not counting his term of apprenticeship, covers a period of sixteen years.
On the 8th of June, 1877, Mr. Franks led to the marriage altar Miss Mary Bushong, a daughter of Adam and Lizzie Bushong. She is a native of Maxburg, Richland County, Ill. Their marriage was celebrated in Newton, and two children have been born of their union, a son and a daughter. The latter, Lola May, is now aged seven years, and the former, George Edward, is a little lad of three summers. Our subject and his wife are well - known people of this community, their home is the abode of hospitality, and they hold a high position in social circles. Their friends are very numerous.
In politics Mr. Franke is Independent. In addition to his other interest, he is the owner of a good farm of eighty acres, situated about one and a-half miles east of this city of Newton. In his business career he has been eminently successful. He is enterprising and energetic, and by his upright dealing and courteous treatment of his customers he has secured a liberal patronage, which he well merits. [Contributed by source #26]
