Biographical Note
Rev. Dr. George A. Frantz was born in 1888 in Kittanning, Pennsylvania. He was a minister at the First Presbyterian Church in Indiana from 1926 to 1953. He was also a member of the Indianapolis Literary Club. After retiring, Frantz "was a guest professor, lecturer, and pastor at many institutions around the country.
