Frank Work, who started life as the
son of a poor widow In an Ohio country
town and whd subsequently became by
sheer force of ' personality civil engineer,
dry goods merchant. V'anderbilt protege,
one of the richest members of the New
York Stock exchange and owner of famous
trotting horses, died at his home, 13 East
Twenty-sixth street, New York, from
pneumonia, at the age of 92.
When he was 16 years old he went to
Columbus, and three years later came to
New York City and took work in the dry
goods store of W. J. Pally. The firm,
after some years became that of Pally &
Work.
Almost as soon as the Cry goods firm
became prosperous, although he was only
Its junior partner, he began spending his
earnings from the businer lo club life
about town, and especially in the purchase
of fast horses, which he proceeded to
drive along the fine roads and trptting
tracks which existed In those days the
fifties In the upper part of the! town. He
raced with other amateur fast hortsa driv
ers whom he met on the roads.'. One of
these was Commodore vVanderbllt. After

racing each othei young Work, Vanderbilt
and other sportsmen of the time, would
meet In Burnham's roadhouse at Blooming
dale road and Beventy-elxth street for re
freshment. During the panic of 1S73 the dry goods
firm of Dally & Work could not stand the
strain and was near bankruptcy. Mr. Work
went to Commodore Venderbllt and asked
for aid, Vanderbilt not only loaned Mr.
Work enough money to save the dry goods
firm, but, soon after, persuaded him to
sell out and devote his time to speculating
In stocks, following Variderbilt's sugges
tions. This Is the way Mr. Work made his
fortune estimated at $15.000.0u0. Vanderbilt
furnished the money Work needed for his
margins, and Work soon made enough to
start a bank.
With the wealth amassed In this way he
could afford to give his love for fast
horses, free rein. The 2:1M4 trotters, Kd
ward and Clck SwiveUer, which he bought
In lisTS, were among his famous pairs. Oth
ers of his .well known horses were Sensa
tion, Billy Freer, pilot Boy, Marie Moore
and Barne.ua. . It is typical of the sincer
ity of his "horsemanship that he always
did his own driving and hia own buying.
When his favorite horse, Dick SwiveUer,
died, Mr. .Work, although 80 years old him
self, spent the whole night In the dying
