John Preston Fravel was the son of Malpheus Abner (1874-1945) and Anna L. “Annie” (Wisman) (1872-1933) Fravel. His parents farmed in the Fairview area near Woodstock.
His wife was Kathryn Romaine (Coffman) Fravel (1907-1984). The couple were married in 1932 and had a daughter, Betty Lou, born in the early 1940s in Washington D.C.
When he registered for the WWII draft, John P. worked for C.W. Sollenberger in a feed and hardware store. He was described as being 5’6” tall and weighing 128 pounds.
By 1950, the census found the family in the Stonewall District where John was an assistant manager of a Farm Bureau Store.
