Moses Frank

Moses Frank was a major stockholder in the National Pencil Company and a veteran in the Confederate Army. This is stated by Steve Oney on page 10 of The Dead Shall Rise: The Murder of Mary Phagan and the Lynching of Leo Frank. Moses lived in Atlanta and his main career was running a cotton oil manufacturing company. This was stated by Moses Frank on his emergency passport application shown in the sources. This profile gives the date of birth of Moses Frank as October 5, 1842, because Moses Frank stated that that was his date of birth on an emergency passport application that he made in Germany during the First World War. That passport application is shown in the sources. Another date of birth, September 5, 1841, has been given. The source for that date is a death certificate for Moses Frank supplied by an attorney called Leonard Haas.
