Frank M. Crickenberger is one of five Confederate veterans buried at Wiley Cemetery outside of Colfax in Martin Township. A former Virginian he died at age 91 in 1938 and was a very well-respected man. His wife and he settled in Colfax in 1880 and earned a living as a contractor and mason.
Evidently, he was also well-accepted by Union veterans in the area, even with their great dislike for the "damned secesh."
