He was born in the year 1819, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Germany, where he grew to mature years, coming to the United States when a young man. Mr. Frankel inherited the principle of scrupulous honesty, and remarkable business engergy, which are so characteristic of his nationality. These distinctive traits of character have ever marked the business record of Mr. Frankel, during his long connection with the people of Hopkinsville, Christian Co. His first business venture was in the State of Mississippi, where, howevr, he remained only about three years, when he removed to Shelbyville, Ind. From the latter place he came to Hopkinsville, Ky., in 1862, and there established the "Old Reliable" business house, which is still conducted by his son Joseph M. Frankel. Mr. Frankel removed from Hopkinsville to Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1883, where he now resides with his family, and where, in 1856, he married Miss Dorothea Aischberg, who is also a native of Bavaria, Germany. Their family consisted of seven children: Henry, now a merchant of Princeton, Ky., Joseph M.; David A., who died in 1883; Rosa, Fannie, Samuel and Sadie Frankel. Joseph M. Frankel was married, September 7, 1881, to Miss Esther, daughter of Joseph and Caroline Slaughter, of Louisville, Ky., where she was born in 1860.
