Frank Jerome Timmons: Entering a Building Illegally

Frank Jerome Timmons was born 6 Jan 1891 in Norwalk, OH, to Bernard J Timmons (1864-1935) & Anna  McManus.


Inmate: #4827 Pittsburgh Jail (Pennsylvania)
Arrested: 13 Feb 1919
Crime: Entering a building illegally
Age: 28



He was placed in the Allegheny County Workhouse on 14 Feb 1919, for a 6 month term as a Suspicious person as inmate #79517.


Record found on Ancestry and I attached it to the tree I made him.

When he filled out his WWI Draft Registration he was locked up.


He worked for the Northern Pacific Railroad I found these documents on Ancestry. Looks like he was insubordinate a few times.





In 1930 he was living in the Vestibule Hotel, located at 66 West Van Buren Street in Chicago, IL. Room 22. I found an interesting story about this hotel.

February 15th, 1916

Man stabbed to death: Sanders, Henry - Age 24 - Stabbed to death in the Vestibule Hotel, #66 W. Van Buren St., by one Charles Duff, (watchman for the hotel) who on 2/17/17 was exonerated by the Coroner.

Frank died 28 July 1936 in Elgin, IL.

I am not sure why he was in that building or what the police found that was suspicious. I didn't find any newspaper articles.
