He was the son of Augustus and Elizabeth Eisenour Hummell. They came from Jonestown, Pennsylvania in Lebanon County and raised a family and died in Owen County. For what ever the reason, it seems like most of the children they had died or moved without a trace.
Levisa and Benjamin both lived in Worthington, Indiana at the time of their deaths. Levisa died in their home on the corner of Crist and Center Streets. The house was torn down in the late 1990's. Frank died at Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes. They are both buried at Vincennes.
Regarding his birth date: His tombstone says born in 1847, death record says 1849, 1880 census says 1852, the whole family came up missing in 1900. In 1910 census says he was born in 1849, 1930 was 1852.
