Franklin Holmes Cresswell, son of Matthew and Catherine Stuart Cresswell was born in Van Buren County, Iowa Dec. 31, 1845 and departed this life June 13, 1922, at his home near Lenox, Iowa at the age of 76 years, 5 months and 14 days.
Having grown to manhood in Van Buren county, he came to Adams Co in 1869, where he broke the virgin prairie and established the home in which he resided until his death. He drove overland to his new home, there being no railroad in the county at that time.
On Feb. 16, 1874 Mr. Cresswell was united in marriage to Mary Emma Cornell, who preceded him in death June 26, 1880. To this union were born Hugh M., Byron C., and a daughter who died in infancy.
He was actively interested in all enterprises for the benefit of the public. He was instrumental in the establishment of the civil and school organizations of the community and substantially aided in their development by serving in a number of offices of the township.
He ever sought the most up-to-date methods to bring the rearing of livestock to the highest obtainable perfection, having founded the pioneer herds of pure bred cattle and swine in the county. He occupied an honorable place in associations interested in livestock.
By his interest in the welfare of his fellows and his kindly ministrations in all times of need, he established a bond between himself and his neighbors which remains a precious memory.
He leaves to mourn his departure, his sons, Hugh and Byron who reside on the Cresswell farms; his sister, Mrs. Abbott Brady, of Long Beach, Calif., his brother John Cresswell of Hillsboro, Ia., and two grandsons Philip and Robert Cresswell.
Thus is completed the career of one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Grant township. The funeral service was held at the farm on Sunday, June 18, conducted by Rev. W. Barlow. A large crowd of friends attended the service, which was held in front of the house. Interment at Fairview cemetery.
