Frank Liscom

born: 26 April 1867 Mendota, Illinois, United States of America

died: 01 July 1930 Los Angeles, California, United States of America (diabetic coma, age 63)

Elderly, mustachioed American actor. His surname has also been spelled "Liscomb." Another source gives his dates as thus: born 05 (actually 06) March 1868 in Wisconsin, USA; died 24 October 1946 in Los Angeles, California, USA. This information applies to a different person, a farmer named Frank O. Liscomb, who had only been in California for 2 years prior to his passing (per his death certificate; this other Frank is indeed elsewhere in the U.S. in previous Censuses).

Real name: Frank Horace Liscom
