Frank L. Yontz 

Frank L. Yontz died January 3, 1890, per Colorado on-line records.

"Heirs of Frank L. Yontz"  proved up  a quarter in 26, 6N 49W in 1894.

POSSIBLE Frank Yontz, born about 1868.  In 1880 Bradford County Pennsylvania, Charlie H. Yontz, 50, and Malita 39, have John B. 19, George H. 14,  Frank 12, Fredie 10, and Martin B. 8.  Charlie and the two oldest sons are laborers.

This Frank 1863-1882, per FindAGrave 65259616, is buried in the same cemetery as Charles, and brothers John M. 1860-1897 and Freddie E. 1869-1881.  Because of the 1880 census, the FAG birth year is likely wrong, so the death date is questionable as well.

In 1900 Bradford County, Charles and Malita said she'd had six children, two living -
