  Family History Researcher	Date: 2/14/2002 8:27:44 AM Pacific Standard Time From: khull@speakeasy.org To: JAYWILPOLT@aol.com Jay,Thanks much for the family report of the Franks. It provided some detai ls on descendants of Nicholas Frank that I'd not known. Alsoimportant to me is the careful source information that was included for t he family. I've been working with material collected by two cousins (distant) who did not document sources!Nicholas Frank was a brother to my great grandfather Peter C Frank. The ir parents are Peter Frank and Anna Pauls of Mequon, Ozaukee county. Cla im to fame -- the family homestead is now the site of the Homestead High S chool, all eighty acres, and Peter and Anna are buried in the front goun ds of the school. Their grandchild, Simon Frank, an eccentric miserly rec luse, bequethed his estate of $1.5m to this public school for a college sc holarship fund in the 1960's. He also sold the farm for less than $8 0k to the city for the purpose of building the school with the caveat th at all the land would be kept intact and not developed for housing. The F rank Family Scholarship Fund has awarded more than $4m to students alrea dy and still has more than $4m in assets. Awards are based on achieveme nt and not financial need. Homestead High is identified as the richest-en dowed public school in the US as a result. Trivia you might not ever ha ve wanted to know!There is no connection of Franks to your Wilpolt family that's evide nt to me at this time. I don't suggest you clutter up your research withFranks unnecessarily, however if you would like, I'd be glad to send y ou a file of the Peter and Anna Frank family.Again, thank you for your information and for the Kaukauna newspaper trans criptions you've worked on and shared. Regards, Karen

  Obituary	24 Apr 1917
  Shawano Advocate
  Peter Frank of Shawano died Tuesday morning at one o'clock at his home in this city, after an illness of about four months of enlargement of the heart. Peter Frank was born at Mequon Wis., April 21, 1846 and lived there until the close of the Civil War when he removed when he removed to Sherwood where he owned a large farm. Mr. Frank enlisted in Co. B 3rd Wis. Infantry and went to the front joining his command just after the great Battle in the Clouds under Gen. Hooker of Lookout Mountain. He was with Gen. Sherman on his famous "March to the Sea" when that great fighting warhorse carved his way down through the state of Georgia from Atlanta to Savannah, splitting the Southern Confederacy in two parts and sounding their death knell. It was a mighty war movement for the whole Army had to subsist off the country through which they marched and fought day after day until they reached the Atlantic coast and then had to conquer the city of Savannah. Peter frank often recited his adventure on that memorable trip which practically ended the rebellion and left on the archives of the Nation a long list of the conquering heroes which will stand unchallenged as the proudest of records any army of soldiers ever achieved. Soon after the war closed Mr. Frank was married at Sherwood to Miss Genefava Regal in 1868, where he owned a farm of 80 acres on which he lived until 1883, at the foot of the High Cliff near Sherwood, where he opened lime kilns and for twelve years hauled the product to Kaukauna. In 1888 he sold his farm and came to Kaukauna about the time his first wife died. One year after he married Mary Ann Brooker of Kaukauna and 23 years ago built a store on Tobacnoir street which he conducted until he moved to Shawano nine years ago this spring, April 19, 1908. Peter Frank became a member of Paul H Beaulien Post No. 247, G A R one month after that organization started in March of 1889. He was the father of seventeen children, twelve of whom with his second wife survive. They are, John Frank of Alberta, Canada, Joseph Frank of Laurium, Mich.; Anton Frank of Kaukauna; Mrs. Anna Eckes, of Marshfield; Mrs. Effa Schaffer, Kaukauna; Charles, Verna, Rose, George, Etta, Henry and Lester Frank at home. Two brothers John Frank of Kaukauna and Jacob Frank of Mequon, Wis. The funeral services were conducted from Sacred Heart Catholic church, Shawano, Friday morning at ten o'clock and was attended from Kaukauna by Mr. and Mrs. Anton Frank, Mr. and Mrs. August Schaffer and John Frank, who returned Saturday noon. Jacob Frank and son Milton, Mequon, Wis., Mrs. W.C. Williams of green Bay and Mrs. Turiff of DePere, Mrs. A.F. Anderson, Waupaca, Wis., and Mr. John Bruehl and daughter Mary of Sherwood, Wis. were also here to attend the funeral. Internment was made in the Parish Cemetery of Sacred Heart church.
