FRANK LEIGHTON CAREY - Vol II, pg 270
Frank Leighton Carey, well known in grain trade circles of Minneapolis, has been
engaged in the general grain business during the past three decades and has
attained a position of prominence and leadership in this connection. His birth
occurred at Owatonna, Minnesota, on the 4th of April, 1867, his parents being
Joseph C. and Harriet F. Carey, the former now deceased. Mrs. Carey is still
living and makes her home in Duluth, Minnesota.
Frank L. Carey acquired his education in the schools of his native city and was
graduated from Pillsbury Academy of Owatonna with the class of 1887. As above
stated, he has devoted his attention to the general grain business for the past
thirty years and his success and prominence in this field of activity are
evidenced in the fact that he is now vice president of the Hallet & Carey
Company of Minneapolis and Duluth, president of the Hallet & Carey Company,
Limited, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and president of the Nye & Jenks Grain
Company of Chicago and Kansas City. His connection with any undertaking insures
a prosperous outcome of the same, for it is in his nature to carry forward to
successful completion whatever he is associated with. Mr. Carey acted as agent
of the United States Food Administration during the life of that organization
and through the period of the World war also served as vice president of the
United States Grain Corporation, in charge of its operation in Zone No. 5, which
comprised the states of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Iowa and
Wyoming, with headquarters in Minneapolis.
On the 22d of April, 1894, in this city, Mr. Carey was united in marriage to
Miss Mary E. Wittich, daughter of James F. Wittich of Erie, Pennsylvania. Mr.
and Mrs. Carey have one child, Elizabeth. Fraternally Mr. Carey is identified
with the various Masonic bodies, including the Mystic Shrine at Minneapolis, and
he is also a popular member of the Minneapolis, Minikahda and Lafayette Clubs of
this city, while in Chicago, he has membership connection with the Union League
Club and the Bobolink Club.
