Hello all, I wonder whether this Franklin Bechdel is the same man as Franklin L. Bechdel, born 1839 in Liberty Twp., Centre Co., PA, and died 27 Nov 1904 in Howard, Centre Co., PA? His obit stated he left a wife and seven children; it neglected to name them, however. He was a son of David C. and Christina (Workinger) Bechdel.
