Sebring of Sebring, Ohio, died on November 23, 1936, in Cleveland, Ohio, at the age of seventy-one years. His death was caused by coronary thrombosis. The members of the Society will learn with regret the passing of Mr. Sebring. He leaves a brother, E. H. Sebring, of Sebring, Fla., as the only surviving brother of the six who came to Sebring, Ohio, in 1899 and developed a pottery center out of the swamp site which they purchased. Frank A. Sebring was bom July 20, 1865, in Vanport. Beaver County, Pa., the fourth of the brothers. His parents moved to East Liverpool, Ohio, when he was about five years old and he resided there until the brothers built their first pottery in 1900 at East Liverpool. The first business enterprise of the brothers was a grocery store which they started in East Liverpool in 1885. They operated this for two years before entering the pottery industry with the purchase of the old Agner Foutts plant. East Liverpool. This they operated at the Sebring Pottery Company until 1900 with Frank A. Se bring as president. They built a second pottery in the east end of the city in 1897. This was known as the Klondike plant and more recently was operated by the SmithPhillips Company. Frank and George Sebring moved part of their interests to East Palestine in 1892, taking over the old East Palestine Pottery Company. They built the Ohio China Company there three years later.
