EXCERPT:
"The thriving village of Francis Creek might have been known as Hesselville had that family not been so modest.
The Hessels were pretty much the backbone of Francis Creek in 1917. C. J. Hessel and John Ewan operated a large produce market and general store.
Frank Hessel was the proprietor of the French Creek House and saloon. His sons-Edward and Louis-helped out on the general store. Charles Hessel, Sr., and Robert Hessel were prominent farmers in the area. Charles Hessel, Jr., ran the hotel.
But there were other influential families at Francis Creek in the early 1900s"
