Meade County KyArchives Biography

Author: Genealogy and Biography, Volume 1, 2nd edition, 1886

JOHN F. FRAKES, owner and proprietor of the St. Cloud Hotel at Brandenburg, Ky., was born in 1835, in Harrison County, Ind. His father, Jacob Frakes, was a native of Hardin County, Ky., where he was reared, but in early manhood he removed to Harrison County, Ind., where he married Miss Mary Ann Scott, a native of Pennsylvania. John F. is the fifth of their family of ten children, and was reared to maturity in his native county, where he devoted himself to the pursuits of the farm until 1871, when he removed to Brandenburg, Ky., at which time, in connection with I. Malin, he built the St. Cloud Hotel, of which he has since been the proprietor. In 1864 he married Miss Eliza Malin, daughter of Basil B. and Anna Malin. She was born in Breckinridge County, Ky., in 1835. Mrs. (Malin) Frakes was a most estimable lady, universally beloved; united with the Baptist Church when twelve years old, and in that faith she trustingly died on the 14th of September, 1882. In 1884 Mr. Frakes contracted a marriage with Miss Carrie Drury, daughter of Thomas Drury, who, in life, was a highly esteemed citizen of Breckinridge County. Mr. Frakes, while not wealthy, has, by industry and economy, procured a good property and enjoys the confidence of a large circle of acquaintances. Of the ten children of his father's family, Kittie, Harvey, Jennie, Sallie, Scott and Olivia are dead. William Frakes, the eldest of the family, is a resident of Meade County. Maggie is the wife of Howard Roberts, of Indiana, and Fannie, the youngest child, is the wife of Henry Brandenburg, of Illinois.
