Glasco Sun, Oct. 23, 1937, page 6:
Mr. Frank S. Bishop was born near Mannassa, Wisconsin, (probably "Menasha" or "Harrison" based upon the 1860 census records) December 22, 1859, and died October 22, 1937 at the age of 77 years, ten months and 4 days. He was the son of Mr. Elson Spencer and Cornelia Phelps Bishop.
When about three years of age he was severely burned which retarded his physical development so he was unable to attend school until twelve years of age.
At the age of six, he with his family moved to Tennessee for his mother's health, where a few years later she died. In 1872 the family moved to North Adams, Massachusetts and in 1876 he with his father and sister Inez immigrated to Cloud County. After reaching Kansas he attended district school one term and two years in the Concordia schools. While attending school here he worked his way by driving a milk truck before school and making brooms at night.
The winter of 1880 was one of the worst ever known in Kansas and times were very hard, but he was determined to get an education.
Mr. Bishop was a self made man and began his career by working on a farm. His first employer was Clarence Ballou of Delphos. He also was a self educated man and after renting a farm one year was able to attend school at the Manhattan Agricultural College. He was a very industrious student, almost completing a two year course in one year. After returning from college he worked on the farm for C.C. King and with the proceeds bought a farm of his own, which was his father's timber claim.
April 18, 1886 he was married to Hattie M. Cool and together they went through the pioneering days of this part of Kansas. To this union were born three children, Bessie King of Manhattan, Elson of Glasco and Alma Cunningham of the home. His wife preceeded him in death on April 18, 1930.
Mr. Bishop was an industrious and successful farmer and accumulated considerable land. For several years he an L.H. Cool were closely associated in the stock raising business, and the deep friendship that began when young men together, existed throughout all of the ensuing years.
In 1907 he bought and moved to the farm where he resided until his death. For over 25 years he was a member of the Delphos I.O.O.F. lodge.
Mr. Bishop was one of the best of neighbors always ready to help in sickness and time of need. He leaves to mourn beside his children, eight grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Inez Garner of San Bernardino, California; three half brothers and sister, Summer Bishop of Fairview, Oklahoma; Ralph Bishop of Kansas City and Mrs. Nellie Schmidt of Gravette, Arkansas and a host of friends.
Funeral services were held at the Glasco Methodist Church Wednesday afternoon, October 27, with Rev. Roy Allsbury in charge. Pall bearers were Richard and Ronald King, Miner and Kenneth Ballou, Earl King and Joe Cool.
Burial was made in the Glasco cemetery with Lott and Stine, morticians.
