A 2002 Perspective Biography

Frank Xavier Leyendecker

Frank X. Leyendecker, was born Franz X. Leyendecker, to Peter and Elizabeth Ortseifen Leyendecker, on January 19, 1878, in Montabaur, Germany.

The family, which included; Adolph, age 12, Auguste, age 10, Joseph, age 8, and Franz, age 4, immigrated to America in 1882. They sailed from Antwerp on the ship Pennland, which landed in New York on July 8, 1882.

The family settled in Chicago, having been sponsored by the brother of Elizabeth, who worked for the McAvoy Brewery there. The father, Peter, went to work at the brewery. As youngsters, Frank and Joseph both displayed artistic talents. When Frank was about 16, he was apprenticed to Carl Brandt, and learned how to do stained glass art work. Later, he attended the Art Institute of Chicago, and then at 18 went to Paris with Joseph to study at the Julian Academy, the pupil of Benjamin Constant and Jean Paul Laurens.
