Born in Allentown, Pennsylvania in January 1877, Private Frank Seislove was a son of Northampton County, Pennsylvania native, David A. Seislove, who had served as a Private with Company B of the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteers during the Civil War before marrying Clara Saul, a daughter of Charles Saul, in an Allentown wedding ceremony on 25 January 1869.
Like his older brother, Edward Seislove, Frank served in the military in 1898 as a Private with Company B of the 4th Pennsylvania Volunteers. By June 1900, Frank was stationed in Cuba – as a Private with the U.S. Army’s 8th Infantry.
In 1904, Frank Seislove wed Kate Butler in Philadelphia. Pension records for Frank Seislove indicate that Catherine Loper, a guardian of his dependent minor child, filed an application for benefits for that child from Pennsylvania on 10 August 1921.
On 7 March 1905, Frank Seislove's mother passed away at the Philadelphia home of his sister, Mamie (Seislove) Eckstein. The 8 March 1905 edition of "The Allentown Leader" reported her passing as follows:
"Death of Mrs. Clara Gaumer

DEATH AND INTERMENT
The death of Private Frank Seislove appears to have occurred in or before 1921 since a pension claim was filed for a minor child in August of 1921.
America's Nationwide Gravesite Locator for military veterans does not provide a date of death for him, but does confirm his miliary service and burial location at the Philadelphia National Cemetery.
