Ancestors of Frank Randolph CADY 12 June 2012
First Generation
1. Frank Randolph CADY 1 was born on 8 Sep 1915 in Susanville, Lassen, California. 1 He died at
home on 8 Jun 2012 at the age of 96 in Wilsonville, Clackamas, Oregon. 2
His obituary was published on 11 Jun 2012 in the New York Times in New York City,
New York, New York.
Frank Cady, a character actor best known for playing the down-home shopkeeper, Sam
Drucker, on the popular 1960s sitcoms “Petticoat Junction” and “Green Acres,” died on
Friday at his home in Wilsonville, Ore. He was 96.
Catherine Turk, his daughter, confirmed his death.
Mr. Cady played Sam Drucker for nearly a decade on the two shows, both set in the fictional town of
Hooterville.
Mr. Drucker was a bit of a straight man to the colorfully zany folk who populated the series, both on
CBS. His general store was the closest thing Hooterville had to a social club, and unlike the shops in
neighboring Pixley, Drucker’s extended credit.
Mr. Cady’s Sam Drucker also appeared occasionally on a third homespun comedy, “The Beverly
Hillbillies.” All three shows were produced by Paul Henning.
Critics found the shows simple-minded, but in 1990 Mr. Cady defended “Green Acres,” about a city
couple who move to the country.
“The only thing I resent is people calling it a corny show,” he told CBS News. “It’s highly
sophisticated, and it’s timeless, as I think all the reruns are establishing.”
Mr. Cady had an extensive career outside of Drucker’s store. He played the part of Doc Williams on
“The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet” from 1953 to 1964, appeared on television shows like “Wagon
Train” and “Perry Mason,” and acted in films, including “Rear Window” and “Ace in the Hole.”
Mr. Cady largely retired in 1977, but he did reprise the role of Sam Drucker in 1990, in the TV movie
“Return to Green Acres.”
Frank Randolph Cady was born on Sept. 8, 1915, in Susanville, Calif., and graduated from Stanford
University’s drama department in 1938. He served in the Army Air Forces during World War II and
started acting onstage after returning from the war.
In addition to his daughter, he is survived by a son, Steven; three grandchildren; and three greatgrandchildren.
His wife, Shirley, whom he married in 1940, died in 2008.
Balding, long-necked character actor Frank Cady was a stage actor of long standing when he
moved into films in 1947. He was usually cast as a quiet, unassuming small town professional man,
most memorably as the long-suffering husband of the grief-stricken alcoholic Mrs. Daigle (Eileen
Heckart) in "The Bad Seed" (1957). A busy television actor, he spent much of the 1950s on The
Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet as Ozzie Nelson's neighbor Doc Willard. The "TV Generation"
of the 1960s knows Cady best as philosophical storekeeper Sam Drucker on the bucolic sitcoms
Petticoat Junction (1963-1970) and Green Acres (1965-1971). Whenever he wanted to briefly
escape series television and recharge his theatrical batteries, Frank Cady appeared with the
repertory company at the prestigious Mark Taper's Forum. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Biography
Frank Cady was born and raised in Susanville, California in 1915, and although he appeared in a few
1

high school plays, he worked after school and summers on Susanville's leading weekly newspaper,
The Lassen (County) Advocate. His ambition was to someday be a great newspaper reporter.
But although enrolled primarily in journalism courses at Stanford University, he was asked in his
sophomore year to write a skit and a song for his fraternity, which creation became part of the
annual student musical show, the Big Game Gaieties.
He also appeared in the Gaieties as an actor -- and this turned out to be the end of his newspaper
ambitions because the lure of the stage was too strong to resist. Upon graduation in 1938, he
launched his career as an actor. (Incidentally, the lead singer in that Gaieties and many other
Stanford musicals was Shirley Jones -- the original Shirley Jones, as her friends call her. She and
Frank celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary this past June.)
Forty years later, he moved out of Los Angeles and out of the business. Almost. Frank's latest acting
role, since "retiring" in 1978, is in his old part of Sam Drucker, the storekeeper, in Return to Green
Acres, a 2-hour film for TV, which he completed in March of 1990. Between 1963 and 1970 he
portrayed that character in 145 episodes of Green Acres, 152 episodes of Petticoat Junction and 11
of The Beverly Hillbillies.
He swore his last appearance would be in an After Mash episode in 1984. After that, he was offered
two new series (the latest in 1989), but he turned them down and, in doing so, he says, "I guess I
may have burned my last bridge to Hollywood." Well - almost.
His retirement might have ended in 1983, when he agreed to make a pilot for CBS called Sutters
Bay, on which he played the town doctor. For better or worse, the pilot didn't sell.
An earlier series with which Frank was associated was The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, in which
he played the recurring character of Doc Williams, a neighbor, over a period of 12 years, beginning in
1953.
The Beginnings
Frank's first appearance as a television actor was on the BBC, London, England, in the winter of
1938. Following his graduation from Stanford in the Speech and Drama Department (now only
Drama), he served an apprenticeship at the Westminster Theatre, performing classics by
Shakespeare, Strindberg, Molnar and others. Frank was appearing in the production of Eugene
O'Neill's Marco Millions when the entire production was transported, sets and all, to the Alexander
Palace and televised live. He received a one-pound note for his services -- a piece of paper he still
has.
He appeared in some experimental TV in New York in 1939 and made his West Coast television
debut sometime in the 40s doing those terrifying, no-retake live shows, such as CBS's Studio One,
Life With Father and others long forgotten.
The list of TV credits, piled up through the years, included such oldies as The Alaskans, Broken
Arrow, December Bride, O,Susanna, GE Theatre (with a guy named Ronald Reagan), Andy Griffith,
Perry Mason, Rawhide, Hawaiian Eye, Guestward Ho, Maverick, The Investigators, Pete and Gladys,
The Joey Bishop Show, You Are There, Glynis, Make Room For Daddy, Grindle, Dennis The Menace,
The Untouchables, Jane Wyman Theatre, Cheyenne, The Best Years, Sugarfoot, The Virginian, The
Deputy, The Real McCoys, Desilu Playhouse, Wagon Train, Hazel, Great Adventures, and some more
recent ones such as The Practice, Gunsmoke, and Hawaii Five-O.
Just before leaving Hollywood in 1978, he filmed several ABC-TV Weekend Specials, including the 3part
Winged Colt, for which he received an Emmy nomination.
Motion Pictures
Although he made his first feature film in 1946, Frank points to Zandy's Bride (Warner Brothers
1973), in which he co-starred with Liv Ullman, Gene Hackman and Eileen Heckart, playing
2

Ancestors of Frank Randolph CADY 12 June 2012
Hackman's snarling "Pa", as possibly being the performance he enjoyed the most. The picture was
directed by Jan Troell, creator of The Emigrants and The New Land. He also likes the sharply
contrasting part he played in The Bad Seed.
Other major motion picture credits: Rear Window, The Big Carnival, The Asphalt Jungle, When
Worlds Collide (now a sci-fi classic), Hearts of the West, The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao, the Girl Most
Likely and perhaps 20 or 30 other pictures best left undisturbed.
Theatre
As mentioned earlier, Frank began his acting career at Stanford University where, before graduating,
he acted in, wrote for, or directed perhaps 20 or 25 stage productions, readings, etc.
From there, he went to an apprenticeship with a repertory company at the Westminster Theatre,
London, where he stayed until 1939, appearing in Marco Millions, Troilus and Cressida, Dangerous
Corner and The Farewell Supper.
A season of summer stock in Brattleboro, Vermont, followed in 1939 and then he returned to
Stanford for two years of graduate work, a year as a teaching assistant to Prof. Elizabeth Buckingham
in Shakespearean interpretation and he also appeared in many more plays.
The academic life was not for Frank and he abandoned plans to teach, taking a job as a radio
announcer at KGDM in Stockton and later moving to KYA and subsequently KGO in San Francisco as
announcer-newscaster and editor.
From 1943 to 1946 he was with the USAAF in England, France and Germany and, with hostilities at
an end, was able to appear in The Road To Rome with James and Pamela Mason, in the Wiesbaden
Opera House.
Following his discharge in 1946 he appeared in two plays in Hollywood, which led directly to a
beginning in motion pictures.
A season of 8 plays in professional stock at Laguna Beach and more plays in Hollywood, La Jolla and
Pasadena, led up to the year 1953 when an appearance in The Square Needle caught the eyes of
Ozzie and Harriet Nelson and his TV career was launched in earnest.
From 1970 to the Present
Following the demise of Petticoat Junction and Green Acres, Frank received many offers to play
storekeepers. That prospect was not enticing, so he turned the offers down, concentrating his efforts
on a few films and work in commercials, particularly a four-year stint as spokesman for Ralston
Purina's Fit and Trim dog food, which contract did not end until November of 1980.
He returned to the theatre in 1972, performing What Are You Doing After The War? with the Center
Theatre group and later appearing in,Henry IV, Part I at the Mark Taper Forum, playing first
Northumberland and later Worcester.
He was also active with ANTA West, appearing as Cassius in Julius Caesar and playing in Born
Yesterday and others.
Retirement
In 1977 Frank discovered what seemed to him his own private Camelot on California's central coast
and he and his wife, Shirley, decided that was to be their home. By January of 1978, they had
moved into their new house and abandoned Los Angeles and environs, "for good", except for a
couple of projects to which he already was committed.
Except for one or two minor backslidings, the vow to retire and stay retired has been kept. Frank has
busied himself with his private business interests and found relaxation and recreation in writing for
3

the local newspaper, hiking in the Swiss Alps, and taking off whenever asked to play in his beloved
celebrity golf tournaments in cities throughout the country.
Frank and Shirley moved to Oregon in September of 1991, primarily to be nearer their daughter,
Catherine, who lives in Olympia, Washington. Their son, Steven, lives in Truckee, California.
Until January of 1995, Frank stuck with his retirement game plan. But the Chris Cusick of Portland
Agency sent him out on two auditions and, on both, he came out on top. the first was for an Oregon
Lottery commercial and the other was for an industrial film for Hewlett-Packard. (The H-P film is "in
house" and was not broadcast, which he regrets because his part, a college professor, was wellsuited
to him and, as he modestly admits, "I was very good in it.")
The biggest thrill of his acting career? It was getting a part in a picture that was never made. While
living in Cambria, his agent asked him to come down to Hollywood because Orson Welles wanted to
see him! It seems that Orson knew his work, felt that Frank was just right for a film Orson had
written and would direct. After an hour's talk at Wells' home, Frank was cast in and given the script
to The Cradle Will Rock, which was the story of how the play of that name was produced years ago.
The picture was to shoot in Italy in a few months. Unfortunately, production problems developed,
resulting in the picture's postponement and, before it could be re-activated, Orson died. End of a
story that could have had a much happier ending.
What comes next? "Probably nothing," says Frank, "unless some feature film or TV show decides to
do some principal casting in Portland, instead of Hollywood." Otherwise, it's back to golf, travel,
hiking and whatever else the old body can put up with.

What's the secret to playing Sam Drucker: "I just play myself," says Frank Cady, who played the
same role on three different series.
"Sam Drucker and I are old friends. I played him on Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, and The Beverly
Hillbillies, and we were going strong until 1971, when Fred Silverman canceled every show with a
tree in it."
Born and raised in California, Cady graduated from Lassen Union High School with the goal of
becoming a journalist. He entered Stanford University, where he ended up majoring in speech and
drama. After graduating in 1938, he went to London and apprenticed at the Westminster Theater,
performing plays of Shakespeare. It was while he was there that he made one of the earliest
television appearances in history.
"In 1938 we performed a Shakespeare play on BBC Television. That's got to be just about a record.
Unfortunately hardly anyone had a set back then to watch it."
Returning to Stanford for graduate work, Cady met his future wife, actress Shirley Jones, while
teaching acting at the university.
"I always call her the real Shirley Jones," he laughs, "to distinguish her from Shirley Jones of The
Partridge Family."
Tiring of academia, Cady settled on the idea of becoming a radio announcer and landed a job at
KGDM in Stockton California. Eventually he moved on to KYA and subsequently to KGO in San
Francisco.
In 1943, Cady was drafted into the army and sent to Europe, where he spent the better part of World
War Two writing news stories for the army's public relations department. Later, with hostilities at an
end, he was able to appear in The Road To Rome with James and Pamela Mason at the Wiesbaden
Opera House.

After his discharge, Cady headed to Los Angeles to pick up his radio career where he had left it, but
he couldn't find a job.
"I just completely bombed out," he says. "I ended up teaching in a radio school and picking up a few
small movie parts. Those parts included Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window.
"Hitchcock liked me so much he gave me two roles. He wrote a part for me talking with Jimmy
Stewart on the telephone, but it got left on the editing room floor. I worked 8 weeks on the picture
and my only appearance is a long shot of me on a fire escape."
Turning to stage work, Cady appeared in Bus Stop with Lee Marvin at the La Jolla Playhouse.
"Shirley came down to see the play and dang if Lee didn't jump his cue and cut me out of the whole
play. Afterwards, Shirley and I went out to eat and Lee walked in and apologized profusely. He
promised to perform my scene for her right there and then. So, we did the scene right there in the
middle of the restaurant."
It was while he was appearing on stage that Cady was spotted by Ozzie Nelson and given the role of
"Doc Williams" on The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet, a part he played on a recurring basis for 12
years.
It was a 1962 appearance on The Beverly Hillbillies that began his "career" as "Sam Drucker." The
episode, called "Christmas In Hooterville," led to his becoming a series regular on Petticoat Junction
and Green Acres. He recalls those days fondly.
"Eddie Albert was the greatest straight man I've ever seen. He made all of Green Acres' absurd and
loony characters work."
After Green Acres, Cady was offered job after job-providing he would play a storekeeper. Finding the
prospect less than enticing, Cady turned to film and commercial work, and considers his role as "Pa"
in Zandy's Bride (starring Liv Ullman and Gene Hackman) to be one of the highlights of his career.
Another high point came in 1984 when he received a call from Orson Welles asking him to appear in
an upcoming film, The Cradle Will Rock. Sadly, the picture was pushed back and Welles died before
it could be shot.
"I asked Mr. Welles why he had picked me to play the part of an old vaudevillian. It turned out that
he was a big fan of Petticoat Junction and Green Acres. Imagine that!"
Cady's final appearance as Hooterville's "Sam Drucker" was in the 1990 TV movie Return To Green
Acres, but as with so many remakes, he felt it wasn't as good as the original.
"They had a rotten script. They had the characters all wrong, and they even had somebody else
playing the postmaster," he says with dismay.
Retiring to Oregon in 1991, Cady and his wife keep active playing golf and hiking. Until recently, they
took annual month-long hiking trips to Switzerland.

Thomas died on 4 Oct 1667 at the age of 83 in Hampton, Rockingham, New Hampshire. 28
He had his estate probated on 8 Oct 1667. Essex Probate # 21667; Inventory 3:452.
He was also known as Thomas FELBRIGGE II. 29
Thomas was also known as Thomas FYLBRIGG. 29
From the book "Genealogy of Families in Weare".
"Thomas Philbrick, with his wife and six children, emigrated from Lincolnshire, Eng., in company
with Governor Winthrop, Sir Richard Saltonstall and others. They arrived in Massachusetts Bay,
June 12, 1630, after a tempestuous voyage of seventy-six days. They attempted a settlement
where Salem, Mass, now is, but in July went to Watertown, Mass. Here Thomas Philbrick remained
until 1645, when he rem. to Hampton, N. H., his son, John, having previously settled there in
1639."
From the book "History of the Town of Rye, New Hampshire":
"Thomas Philbrick, it is said, came from Lincolnshire, Eng. He and his family sailed from Yarmouth,
April 8, 1630, and arrived at Salem, June 14. He settled in Charlestown, but soon removed to
Watertown, and in 1645-46 moved to Hampton."
Other sources say he came over on the ship Arbella in the Winthrop Fleet, but no evidence has been
16

Ancestors of Frank Randolph CADY 12 June 2012
found to prove this. Brayton, in his NEHGR article, says that Thomas didn't come across until 1635.
He is possibly correct because Thomas' youngest daughter, Martha, was baptized in Sept. 1631 in
Bures St. Mary, England. However, it is also possible that Thomas came to America in 1630,
leaving his pregnant wife behind, returning later to retrieve her and the new baby.
He was a proprietor in Watertown, MA in 1637 and 1642, but removed to Hampton, New
Hampshire, probably in 1646, but possibly 1651, to join his sons.
Many people believe that Thomas was the son of Thomas A. Fylbrigg of Bures St. Mary,
born between 1545 and 1550, died 1621 in Bures, who married Elizabeth, born about
1554, died 24 Apr 1619, both in Bures, but nobody has found any "proof".
