FRANK E.
PRICKETT for a long period of years was a successful
building contractor in Fulton county and over the line in
Michigan, but latterly has given his energies to the
successful management of a general hardware business at
Fayette. He is now sole proprietor of this business
and has made his store one of the chief supply points for
everything in the hardware line and draws a trade from a
wide territory surrounding Fayette.
Mr. Prickett was born in Gorham township of
Fulton county, February 10, 1865, son of Samuel and Naomi
(Mason) Prickett. Both the Mason and
Prickett families originated in Burlington county, New
Jersey, where their ancestors settled as early as 1865.
For many generations both families were staunch Quakers in
their religious faith. Samuel Prickett was born
in Burlington county, New Jersey, while his wife was a
native of Franklin township, Fulton county, where her
parents, John and Charity (Borton) Mason, had settled
from Burlington county, New Jersey, at an early date.
The Mason family were among the earliest settlers of
German township of Fulton county. Samuel Prickett
and wife after their marriage located in Gorham township,
where he died about 1894. His widow was born in 1840
and is now living in Wauseon. A brief record of their
children is as follows: Elizabeth, Mrs. Charles A.
Smith, of Morenci, Michigan; Ida, Mrs. C. Hochstetler,
of Wauseon; Frank E., Rhoda, deceased;
Lillie, wife of George T. Curtiss, in Michigan,
and Henry of Fayette.
Up to the age of twenty-one Frank E. Prickett
lived at home with his parents and attended the county
schools. He also learned farming by practical
experience and acquired his skill as a carpenter at Adrian,
Michigan and Morenci. He worked three years as a
journeyman and the began taking contracts for building, and
many examples of his workmanship can still be pointed out in
the vicinity of Morenci and in Fulton county. In 1903,
with Charles Hause, Mr. Prickett bought a
general hardware business from Edward Perry, at
Fayette. They were in partnership five years, and
Mr. Pickett since then has had several other partners,
but in the spring of 1917 he took over the sole management
of the store.
In October, 1890, he married Miss Clara Guilford,
a native of Dover township, Fulton county, and daughter of
George and Adeline (Fitzsimmons) Guilford, the former
a native of New York and the latter of Fulton county, Ohio.
Mr. and Mrs. Prickett have two children:
Dessa, a teacher of domestic science in the public
schools at Adrian, Michigan, and Kenneth, attending a
preparatory school at Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Mr. Prickett is a republican voter. In the
Knights of the Maccabees at Fayette he held the position of
finance keeper twelve years, and is also a prominent member
of the Masonic Lodge at Fayette, being a past grand senior
warden and past junior warden.
