State Illinois

Address or Location 321 South Franklin
Family Name Frakes
Years In House 1941-2007 (present day)
People In 2007, just two of us.
Work My father was a supervisor for the Illinois Bell Telephone Company. He was also owner of Frakes Lumber Company and was Military Adviser to Governor Jim Edgar of Illinois. He was a veteran of the Korean War, having received a bronze star for heroic action. Reached the rank of Captain in the Army. He was given the title of Colonel as Military Adviser to Gov. Edgar. He was also Republican County Chairman of Marion County, Illinois for several terms.
Changes to House Siding was put on the house in 1980 and the front and back porches were removed, I'm sorry to say.
Memory The Thanksgiving Holiday is always a favorite memory in this house. Playing Croquet in the back lawn when I was a child, when my grandparents were living, is a very fond memory.
Other Information This house was built in 1842 and is known as the Lemen-Frakes House. It was built for Rev. Benjamin F. and Mary Putnam (Rand) Lemen. The Lemen's were a very prominent family in Salem and southern Illinois. Rev. Lemen was a Baptist minister. Mrs. Lemen was an eduator. Their daughter, Lydia, married Count John Sobieski, Prince Royal and heir to the throne of Poland. Abraham Lincoln stayed in the house on 9 June 1849. My great-grandparents, Julius and Anna (Maier) Merten moved into the house in 1909, purchasing it in 1914. My grandparents, William Philip and Beatrice M. J. (Merten) Frakes purchased the house in 1941. My parents, Philip Howard and Monna Marilyn (Conant) Frakes, purchased the house in 1981. We still own the house in 2007.

Tell us about your memories of the house?
All of my memories as a young child were in this house. I was only 2 years old when I move here, and left when I was 9. There is honestly too much to type down, and most of it is hard to explain. Many simple, but important memories.

Changes to House Added a patio in the back of the home as well as all the landscaping, including the Black Japanese pine trees flanking the driveway. I recall that the landscaping cost $3,000 and was designed to require the least amount of yard work.
Memory Playing on the island in the sand and along the beaches when very few homes were there.
Other Information Although we resided on deep water and had a small pier, we only owned a boat for a very short time and never really enjoyed being on the water much; however, we liked our unobstructed view of Broad Bay until homes were built across the street. We were about the seventh home built on the island, and I recollect many of the first families who resided at Bay Island: the Butlers, Sundts, Abbotts, Donaldsons, Deloaches, Shaws, Wares, Humphreys, Sweeneys, and Tarrants.
