He was always a Farm Boy and with the help of his nephew Andrew Bergeson he was able to keep on farming until his death..  He raised hogs, cattle, corn, soybeans, pumpkins, sweet corn, and always had a large garden.

Frank loved horses, especially Belgian’s, and took pride in owning, taking them to parades, and having their pictures in the newspaper.
