Franklin T. EDGERLY was a Blacksmith.
A forgeron, or blacksmith, was primarily a craftsman of wrought iron on the anvil.

Using pliers of various sizes to hold the hot iron, the blacksmith would then give it a specific shape with the help of different hammers. The blacksmith made farm instruments, vehicle accessories and even schooners, cemetery crosses, steel bandages, hooks for hay bales, etc.
