Memorial to the Honorable Frank Hollingsworth of Boone County
MR. SPEAKER: Your committee, appointed to prepare a suitable resolution commemorating the life, character and public service of the late Honorable Frank Hollingsworth, begs leave to submit the following memorial:
Frank Hollingsworth was born in Edgerton, Wisconsin, and came with his parents at an early age to Iowa, the family traveling in a covered wagon. They located on the prairie southwest of Perry where they encountered all the difficulties of the pioneer days. Mr. Hollingsworth attended school in Perry and following graduation, entered the University of Iowa. He was graduated from the Liberal Arts College and the College of Law, and was admitted to the Iowa bar in 1899.
In 1900, Mr. Hollingsworth came to Boone to begin a law practice which continued through a half century. He was united in marriage to Miss Kethern Esbenhade in Chicago on August 30, 1901, and they always made their home in Boone.
Mr. Hollingsworth was a member of many fraternal and civic organizations, a past president of the Boone Lions club, and had served as vice president of the Boone State Bank and Trust Company for thirty-two years. He served in the State Legislature in the Forty-second, Forty-third and Forty-fourth General Assemblies. He took a keen interest in local, state and national affairs, and traveled extensively to all parts of the globe. He passed away January 10, 1951, at the age of 77 years.
Therefore, Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Fifty-fourth General Assembly of Iowa: That in the passing of the Honorable Frank Hollingsworth, the state has lost a valuable and honored citizen and the House expresses its appreciation of his character and public service and tenders, by this resolution, its sincere and heartfelt sympathy to the surviving members of his family.
Be It Further Resolved: That a copy of this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the House and that the Chief Clerk be directed to forward an enrolled copy to the family of the deceased.
