  Notes	Francis left Poultney, Vermont soon after he graduated from Troy Conference Academy. He spent several years in Hartford, Connecticut, USA learing the clothing business. From Hartford, he moved to Boston, Mass. where he worked for R.H. White Company in their clothing department. He returned to Poultney, Vermont in the early 1900's but when World War I broke out, he was sent to France. He spent two and a half years there, largely in the capacity of expediting the handling and distribution of supplies for army canteens, and much of his time was spent in or near Paris. Francis was a handsome man, about five feet eleven inches tall, had grey eyes, and weighed about 180 pounds. He was interested in amateur dramatics and play&d a leading part in almost two-thirds of the plays which were put on in Poultney and the surrounding towns. Being a fine horseman, he often lead the parades in the town. He was very dignified and always did the proper thing. He never passed a woman without tipping his hat, and in a small town that was very noticeable. His grace and good mannaers were something that everybody in the comnunity was conscious of and he was well respected. Francis stayed in the clothing business until he was in his sixties then went selling insulation. He did so well at it, that the head of the company offered him the job of sales manager. This offer came just a few days before his seventieth birthday, so he did not accept it. It is interesting to note that he did not find his real niche in business until he was past sixty. [2]
