Suggested Biography from a booklet owned by our family titled: A Historical, Biographical and Genealogical Account of Certain Branches of the DeBruler and Hargrave Families. (Page 56-57)
Frank Waldo Hargrave, a son of Lemuel R. and Emily, was born Aug. 26, 1866. He spent his boyhood on his father's farm two miles east of Petersburg, Indiana.
He graduated from the Petersburg high school. About this time his father traded his farm for a flour mill there and Frank became the bookkeeper in the mill. After a few years he became interested in photography and liked it so well that he decided to make it his life work. For several years he did not want a permanent location but spent a year or two in each place he chose to work. He was located in Oklahoma when the United States entered the World War and wrote many patriotic poems for a newspaper in Okmulgee. The paper called for one each week until the end of the war because of their high quality. They always appeared in large type on the front page. He left Oklahoma after the war and is now permanently located at Terre Haute, Indiana where he is the proprietor of the Hollywood Studios. He has written many poems and songs, some of them showing his keen sense of humor.
