Comments: Franklin Pierce, son of Enos K. and Mary Ann (Anderson) Stickel, was born on the home farm in Lower Tyrone township, April 12. 1865. He attended school at Dawson, having been about four years old when his parents removed to that place. For one year the family lived in Uniontown, Fayette county, Pennsylvania, and for that year he attended the public school at Uniontown. When he left school he began drawing coke, and worked for two years at the Cochran, Spring Grove and Tyrone coke works. Then for two years he was under J. C. Eckhart, near Reagantown, Westmoreland countv, Pennsylvania, learning blacksmithing. In 1883 he worked in a blacksmith shop at Dawson as full partner of Mr. Eckhart. Mr. Eckhart soon gave up and Mr. Stickel continued the business alone. After his marriage he moved to a farm in Lower Tyrone township and also worked for a few years in a stone quarry. Moving to Scottdale, he worked for three years as blacksmith for the Charlotte Furnace Company. Then for a year he managed a blacksmith shop for his brothers at East Liberty, Fayette county, Pennsylvania. Returning to Dawson he built a shop at the corner of Howell and Griscom streets, which he conducted for five years. For a while after this he farmed in Lower Tyrone township, having bought a farm of one hundred and thirteen acres. In 1902 he bought the general store of O. F. M. Nicolay at Stickel, in Lower Tyrone township, which he kept for four years, and then sold back to Mr. Nicolay. He was postmaster at Stickel from 1902 till the rural free delivery was established. From Stickel he returned to his farm, but in October, 1909, he bought out the store owned by W. H. Cochran & Son at Dawson, and since this time he has carried on a grocery store and meat market at Dawson. He was formerly a Democrat, but is now a Prohibitionist. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church at Dawson. -- From Genealogical and personal history of Fayette county Pennsylvania, Volume 3
