"FRANK’S CORNERS. This is a mere hamlet situated about a mile south of Virgil Corners. It was here that the pioneer, John M. Frank, first located, giving the place its name. Prominent among the early settlers in the immediate vicinity was Charles Hotchkiss, who settled at an early day where his son, Alonzo, now lives. He had three sons, Alonzo, Devolso and Wolcott. The former is one of the prominent farmers of the town and a member of the Presbyterian Church. Marenus Terpening and his brother Noah settled early just north of Mr. Hotchkiss, where they lived many years. Caleb Whiting, who located at what is known as Babcock Hollow at an early day, removed to Frank’s Corners and for many years carried on an extensive marble-working business. He was on the premises now occupied by George Dann, and now lives in Cayuga county."
