Biography
Frank Lewis Garnick served as President of the Juneau Men’s Igloo in 1949.
Garnick was born in Longton, Kansas, on July 22, 1874, to Thomas Garnick and Ann “Fannie” Sophia Cosgrove Garnick. In 1877, when he was three years old, he traveled with his parents to Fort Collins, Colorado, where he attended public schools. He graduated from Fort Collins High School in 1893 and later from Colorado State College in 1898.
In 1900, he joined his father in the contracting business, the firm of Garnick and Son. The company remained in operation until 1912, when Frank moved to Canada to complete construction contracts in Alberta. He remained there for two years before arriving in Juneau on February 22, 1915.
Frank married Clara A. Herner in Fort Collins, Colorado, on November 24, 1900. They had two children: Anita Grace Garnick, born March 18, 1904, and Thomas Edgar Garnick, born August 12, 1906. Both children were born in Fort Collins.
After coming to Juneau, Garnick was associated with the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company as General Millwright and Carpenter Foreman during nearly the entire period of the mine’s operation.
When the mine closed, he was appointed Street Commissioner of Juneau. During his tenure, the city transitioned from the old method of planking the streets to paving. Garnick personally deposited the first load of gravel used to begin filling the streets.
In 1923, he purchased the Consumer Market on Seward Street and renamed it Garnick’s Grocery.
His wife, Clara, died on September 17, 1938. Their daughter, Anita, took over management of the grocery and operated it until 1955.
Frank Lewis Garnick died in Juneau on February 14, 1955, and was buried in the Masonic Plot at Evergreen Cemetery.
