      "History of the Frank Family," a brief family document, compiled by Grayce Stambaugh:

      "The family of Nickloes Frank lived in Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, during the years of 1830-1840. Mrs Frank's Father was (?) Rader [ROEDER]. They owned a great deal of land which was very valuable.
      Nickloes Frank (surnames unknown) had five children born to them -- Margaret, Peter, Adam, Eva Catherine and Elizabeth. They owned and operated a Hotel or Inn in Hesse Darmstadt.
      Early in life death took the father and the mother remarried. In order to avoid conscription of her sons into the German Army, the family came to America. That would have been about 1851. Margaret was 16 years old, Peter was 14 years old, Adam 11 years, Eva Catherine about 8 years and Elizabeth about 6 years old. They also brought two neighbor boys with them. The voyage in a sailboat took six weeks.
      From New York they went to Pennsylvania and took up residence at Chambersburg. Not many years afterward the mother died leaving the five children with their step-father. The mother is buried in the First Lutheran Cemetery in Chambersburg. A short time later the stepfather remarried and to them a son was born -- Henry Keil. In due course the Keils decided to move to Iowa. They wanted to take the youngest, Elizabeth, with them but the sisters and brothers would not hear to it and managed to keep all five together in Chambersburg. [Sentence omitted.]"

      "The Civil War came along and Adam enlisted. Eva Catherine stayed with a family by the name of Frondoe who were very good to her. She attended the Lutheran Church. It was there that she met her future husband, Wilhelm F. Schmidt. He also served in the Union Army. They were married on a Sunday evening at the parsonage of the First Lutheran Church by the Rev. Rhodes, Pastor. They went to housekeeping in Chambersburg and in 1875 moved to Indiana. Here they built a home and reared their famly.
      Adam Frank enlisted on February 5, 1864 and was mustered in at Pottsville, Pa. He served under Captain Frank D. Wetherill's Company F. 3rd Regiment Pa. Vol. Cavalry under the command of Col. J. B. Mcintosh. Comrade Frank shared in the battles of the Wilderness May 5, 1864 - Cold Harbor June 12, 1864, - Boydton Plank Road October 8, 1864 - Thatchers Run October 22 to 28thm 1864.
      Taken sick and being unfit for service Adam was Honorably Discharged December 10, 1864 at Petersburg, Va. by reason of Surgeon Certificate of Disability.
      After his return, he married Rachel Kell of Roxbury, Pa. Through this union 11 children were born -- James K., Robert L., Maretta B., Ida V., William N., Charles G., the twins - Mary S. and Sadie C., Florence G., Nellie Grace and one daughter Annie Elizabeth who died at the age of 14.
      Adam Frank was born April 2, 1840 and died July 20, 1924.
      Rachel V. (Kell) Frank was born January 27, 1845 and died March 14, 1901."
