Summary
Frank Skopp (circa 1881–1960) was a former Beaver Island supervisor named in a June 1960 notice reporting death in Orlando and burial arrangements in Chicago.
Evidence and limits
The 1910 census transcription records a 29-year-old Frank Scopp in St. James Township with a distinctive family household, while a 2010 retrospective calls the later decedent a former Beaver Island supervisor. These sources support a probable identification and a qualified circa-1881 birth year; an original death record, complete civil identity, and exact birth date remain unverified.
Open questions
- Which civil, funeral, and cemetery records confirm Skopp’s full identity and exact vital dates?

- Its transcription of the 1910 St. James Township census lists Frank Scopp, 29, Wisconsin-born, a lumber-camp woodchopper, with wife Julia and daughters Leona, Frances, and Mary. It provides only a circa-1881 birth year.
- The retrospective offers sympathy for former supervisor Frank Skopp, corroborating that the 1960 death-notice subject had a Beaver Island civic role. Together with the distinctive 1910 household, it makes the identity and approximate birth year probable, not certain.
