  FRANK M. CHARLESWORTH, who has been engaged in business in Kaukauna for the past thirty years, is proprietor of one of the leading pharmacies of this city, and has also been prominently identified with public matters during a long period. Born at Omro, Wisconsin, in 1857, Mr. Charlesworth is a son of Samuel and Mary (Manley) Charlesworth, natives of England who came to Wisconsin in 1847. Samuel Charlesworth, who was a tailor by trade and a farmer by occupation, was one of the pioneers of Wisconsin, where for many years he was engaged in agricultural pursuits. His death occurred in 1864, while his widow survived him until 1910. Of their six children, Frank M., and G. H., a furniture dealer and undertaker of Omro, are the only survivors. Frank M. Charlesworth received his education in the public schools of Omro, after leaving which he engaged in the furniture business with his brother at that place. Later he purchased a half-interest in a drug business at Omro, but in 1881 sold out and came to Kaukauna, where he has carried on a business of his own ever since. Mr. Charlesworth was the first city clerk of Kaukauna, and later served as alderman several terms and as mayor during one term. He is a member of the lodge and chapter of Masonry, and is also connected with the Modern Woodmen and the Elks. In 1883, Mr. Charlesworth was married to Frances E. Walsh, of Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, daughter of John and Catherine Walsh, early settlers of Wisconsin, and they have had two children, namely: Frank, who is attending the State University at Madison, where he is taking a course in civil engineering; and Guy, a graduate of the high school, who will enter the State University
