Powell

For many years the Powell Clothing store was on the square
in Marion. I only remember it from the 1940s and 1950s.
Perhaps the operator was Frank Powell born about 1882 in
Illinois (at least Frank Powell was a clothier in Marion).
Does anyone know anything about this Frank Powell? Thank
you.
