Frank R. Angell was born in Livingston County, Michigan, in 1847, the son of John Wesley Angell and his first wife Sarah. He was living with his parents and siblings at Potosi, Grant County, Wisconsin, in 1860 (1860 US Census). He was a resident of Lancaster, Wisconsin, when he enlisted as a private for "100 days" on May 5, 1864, and was mustered into Company A, 41st Wisconsin Infantry. He was mustered out on September 23, 1864. He then re-enlisted as a corporal for 3 years and was mustered into Company K, 47th Wisconsin Infantry, on January 25, 1865. He was mustered out on September 11, 1865. He filed for a Civil War disability pension September 26, 1865, and received application No. 90,479 (a certificate number was not found). He eventually made his way to Los Angeles, California, where he was employed by the U.S. Post Office Department. He resigned from the postal service to accept a position as a shorthand reporter with the county court in January 1877 (Los Angeles Daily Star, Vol. 13, No. 5, Jan. 7, 1877; 4:1). He died at Los Angeles a year later and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery.
