F.C.Haddock; American Writer
Frank Channing
Haddock was born November 17th, 1853 in Watertown, New York of the well known
Methodist preacher George C. Haddock and the former Cornelia B. Herrick. He
graduated from St. Lawrence University in 1876 (with “high rank” and as the
class poet), and entered the Methodist ministry but left that to take up law,
being admitted to the bar in 1881, practiced in Milwaukee and was a well known
legal writer. In 1887, he returned to the ministry (after his father’s
assassination for temperance work), preaching in Iowa, Ohio and Massachusetts.
He then retired from the ministry to take up writing again where he became a
famous author and lecturer on ethics, philosophy, spirituality and empowerment.
His primary work
is captured in the Power-Book Library comprised of the "Power of Will," "Power
for Success," "The Personal Atmosphere," "Business Power," "The Culture of
Courage," "Practical Psychology" and "Creative Personality". He died in
Merriden, Conn on February 9th, 1915 of meningitis while completing his last
work, the “Creative Personality.”
