Bio
The Sherman County Times, January 5, 1956 Frank J. Schmaljohn was found dead, Sunday afternoon in the small one room house at the edge of Rockville where he lived alone. He was last seen about 12:30 early Sunday morning as he was going home. About 4:30 in the afternoon his 10-year old son, Lloyd, came to the house and found him. He returned to his home where the children live with their mother and brought his three older sister, Shirley, Sharon and Judy, back with him. The girls called the village marshal, Lloyd Miller. After investigation, Sherman County Sheriff, Earl Hancock was called. Authorities declared death was due to suffocation. Indications were that a fire had started in the mattress, and could have been from a cigarette. The mattress had been pulled outside. Apparently, Mr. Schmaljohn returned to the house and was overcome by the fumes remaining in the house and was not able to et to the door again.
