Easton Weekly Argus, Friday, May 16, 1884
Sudden Death
Michael Frankenfield, residing near Stockertown, died suddenly at the home of his relatives in West Bethlehem on Wednesday evening of last week. The Times says that about ten days ago the deceased came to West Bethlehem on a visit. On May 1 he walked to Lower Saucon and returned the same day. This was a great strain on his system, he being in the eighty-fourth year of his age. The next day he complained of illness, and being still greatly fatigued, took to his bed. A physician was summoned and medicine administered. On Wednesday morning he arose and, remarking that he felt better, he ventured out. Later in the day he laid down for a few hours. At four o'clock in the afteroon he went out into the yard. Becoming alarmed at his prolonged stay, a grandchild was sent out in search of him, who found him in convulsions. He was immediately carried into the house and a physician summoned. About five o'clock, with his friends and relatives about him, he quietly passed away. Thursday morning his remains were conveyed to his late home in Stockertown. The deceased leaves a widow, aged eighty-one years, seven children and a number of grandchildren to mourn his departure.

Buried: Farmersville Cemetery, Bethlehem Township, Northampton County
