"Frank L. Bensinger was born Dec. 5, 1860, on the place where he now lives, the old Bensinger homestead. His education was acquired in the East Brunswick schools, and he worked for his father on the homestead farm until 1883, when he went to Ohio. After doing farm work there for one year he returned home and entered the employ of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company, as coal flagman on the main line from Palo Alto to Port Richmond, Philadelphia, remaining with that company for two years, when he moved to McKeansburg. He worked for his father another three years, and then rented the Steigerwalt farm, near the Steigerwalt church (now owned by E. H. Kunkel), being tenant on that farm for nine years. At the end of that time he bought the homestead tract, where he has resided ever since, engaged in general farming and trucking. He makes two trips a week to the markets of New Philadelphia and St. Clair. Mr. Bensinger has found time to take part in the township government, has been elected school director and auditor, and has been associated with politics as a Republican. Socially he belongs to Washington Camp No. 100, P. O. S. of A., of New Ringgold, and to Protection Council, No. 935, Order of Independent Americans, of McKeansburg; at one time he was very active in the work of the latter organization, but never held any elective office. In religion he leans toward the teachings of the Evangelical Association. Mr. Bensinger married Ida Albright, a daughter of Thomas and Catherine (Kershner) Albright, and they have had one child, Eva May; she was educated in the East Brunswick schools and the Keystone State Normal School, graduating with the class of 1913, and was married to Leon Kimmel in 1915. Previously she taught school at Rauschs and Kepners, in East Brunswick township."
