Abstract:
Frank Smith Wilkinson also known as “Old Man Frank” was an Edgecombe County educator known for his stern teaching and disciplinarian skills. He attended the University of North Carolina in 1857 and returned home to Edgecombe County to teach at the Tarboro Male Academy in 1858, where he would teach for over five decades. After returning home, he married Annie Stronach with whom he had five children. In 1885, the academy was destroyed by fire and Frank continued his teachings of young men at his home on the corner of Wilson Street and St. Patrick Street. Many of Frank’s students left the academy and pursued careers in healthcare, law, and politics. Frank passed away in November of 1919. Frank’s students shared their recollections of him and honor him through donations to his memorial fund.
