Hazleton Plain Speaker; Monday, October 27, 1941:
Frank P. Siglin, 88, of 541 Lincoln street, died at 9:05 this morning after being ill several weeks. He was one of the oldest members of the Trinity Lutheran church and of the Other Fellows Bible Class of the Sunday School. He was also a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Lodge No. 93.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. William Fields, with whom he resided; Mrs. L. M. Johnson of Philadelphia and four grandchildren: Leslie and Pierce Siglin of Hazleton; Earl Johnson of Philadelphia and Carol Fields of Hazleton.
The funeral will be held privately at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon with services in charge of Rev. H. Clay Bergstresser, pastor of the Trinity Lutheran church. Interment will be in the Vine street cemetery. Friends may call Wednesday afternoon and evening.
Mr. Siglin was born August 5, 1853, at Sand Springs, Butler Township, now located along the Wilkes-Barre highway. At that time it was known as the 'Coach Station,' due to the fact that the coach of those years was the only means of travel and mail and horses were changed there on the mail route from Wilkes-Barre to Tamaqua. A large hotel and 144 acres of farmland were included in the homestead. Now all that is left is the spring that all these years has never been dry, even during drought. The family then moved to Butler Valley where they operated the hotel, located at the intersection of the Drums and Nescopeck highways now known as Dolan's Inn. The building is practically the same as when they built it with the exception of one of two additions.
A few years later the Civil War broke out and during the war in 1861 his father died and oldest brother was killed. The family then moved to Mt. Pleasant, which is now known as Harwood. Hazleton was beginning to become pretty well established in 1866 and the family moved here. Then being homesick for Sand Springs, they acquired the property again and moved back until 1872. His mother married again and with his father and one sister the only ones left, when Jeddo began to prosper he moved and took a position for G. B. Markle & Co. There he met Anna Leiban and was married in the year 1875, having been graced with nine children, of whom two survive. The family moved to Hazleton in 1903, establishing a grocery store on Broad street, in a location now occupied by the Drs. Corrigan. He moved from there to 407 West Spruce street in 1905 and lived there for 18 years until his wife died. Then he moved to Church street, living there until 1925 when he moved to Lincoln street. He moved from Jeddo on a Tuesday and C. O. Beck came on Wednesday to take him to church then held in the Deisroth building. Family members who could join, were taken into Trinity church by Rev. Wagner in the year 1906.
