A humble attaché of the State Department, was born in Tecumseh, Michigan, March 8, 1846. Left an orphan at an early age, he was reared by his grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. William Bacon, now residents of Niles, Michigan, and who, by the way, if they live until February next, will celebrate the sixty-eighth anniversary of their marriage. With them “Frank” moved to Princeton, Illinois, in 1850, where his early life was spent and where he received the benefits of a common school education. He there learned the tinner’s trade, which occupation he followed until coming to Oregon in June 1870. In September of the same year he received the appointment of night clerk in the Portland post office under Hon. L. H. Wakefield, where he remained until the spring of 1872, when he went to Salem and for a few months acted as local editor of the “Statesman”. In December of the same year he accepted a position on the editorial staff of the Portland Daily “Bulletin,” where he remained until the summer of 1874. In January, 1875, he was appointed mailing and delivery clerk in the Salem post office under Colonel T. B. Rickey, and there remained until the spring of 1876. He then returned to Portland and was the first city editor of the Daily Evening “Telegram” of this city. He was afterwards associated with W. S. Chapman, Esq., in the editorial management of the Daily “Bee” which position he resigned in September, 1878, to accept the office of Assistant Secretary of State under Hon. R. P. Earhart, who that month assumed his official duties. Mr. Hodgkin, in September, 1881, was commissioned Assistant Adjutuant General on the staff of Brigadier General E. Meyer, with the rank of Major, which position he recently resigned. On Mr. Earhart’s election as Secretary of State in 1882, he re-appointed Mr. Hodgkin as his Assistant, which position he still holds. He is also the Salem correspondent of the Daily “Oregonian” and San Francisco “Chronicle,” and is now serving his third year as Secretary of the Salem Fire Department. He was married September 2, 1874, to Miss Frankie A. Dunbar, youngest daughter of Hon. Rice Dunbar, deceased, and their family consists of four children. He is a member of the I. O. O. F. and A. O. U. W., having “passed the chairs” in both organizations. His latest venture in the literary line is the publication of the present volume of “Pen Pictures,” of which he is one of the authors.
