Individual Details
Frank Clark FIDLER
(8 Nov 1883 - 11 Feb 1957)
Cedar County records show birth of a male child 8 Nov 1883 to Elsie Jane and Noah Clark. I had 18 Nov 1884 as birth. 1900 census gives his birth as Nov. 1883, so have changed DOB to that. Later obtained copy of World War I draft registration card and it gives 18 Nov 1883.
Found Frank in Montana death index with date of death 11 Jun 1957, but I had 1967 - probably from Emma Jean.
Billings Gazette, Billings, Montana, February 14, 1957, has this item:
"Dillon - Frank C. Fidler, 73, died of a fractured skull he received when a car on which he was working slipped and fell on him.
Coroner Raymond Schwartz gave this account of the Monday accident: Fidler was lowering his car off blocks in his garage. He had removed three blocks and was attempting to jack up the car to remove the fourth when the vehicle slipped and fell on him.
Schwartz said he plans no inquest.
Fidler was born in Stockton, MO, and had lived in Dillon for 50 years. Funeral services will be held Friday. Survivors include his wife, a son and a daughter."
