BIG FRANK
For all of you who spell my name with an 'o' instead of an 'e'...My genealogy searches turned this one up. My grandfather 'Frank' was a bartender on the Union Pacific. I was looking for information on a train caught in an avalanche when I turned this up. Haven't linked it up to our family yet, but my grandfather's name was 'Frank' - this would've been his father or an uncle. Great story Click on the article to read the NY Times story.....November 26,1904 ASSAILANT, ROCHE SAYS, SHOT IN SELF DEFENSE; Gambler Absolves Felton in Ante-Mortem Statement. WAS PLANNED, KROTEL SAYS Police Looking For a Man Said to Have Been in Waiting to Receive Revolver
