The State Journal, Jefferson City, Missouri, Friday, February 28, 1879 Frank Wallendorf died on Thursday near midnight. His death came not unexpected for he had been suffering all winter and had gradually grown weaker until at last life's spark vanished. Frank was one of our noble young men, who promise well for future usefulness. His mechanical talent and ingenuity was rendering him a favorite with the enterprising portion of our community, and no less was he esteemed as a genial companion and a good son. To the bereaved family, losing the eldest son so soon after the father, everybody extends heartfelt sympathy.
