Cindy,
You might try to get his registration card from the Masons Lodge
headquarters.
Another avenue to try would be his land records in Denver, Colorado. He
owned land, and the land has an address given in the obit along with the
"name of the house" so you can get the abstract from the county deed office
and that should have some info. Maybe even gives his wife's possible sale of
the property or who it passed to.
But the lodge registration form should have his birth date on it, and place,
and his residence when he applied for membership, and then go from there.

Subject: [MIGEN] Schlage and Marker Family
I am searching for info for a friend of mine. He found his
grandfathers
obit in a stack of papers. The obit is cut out of the middle of the page.
There is no date, no newspaper heading......... These is no info on
cemetary, burial. The obit is probably from the Denver Post as I know he
was buried in Denver. But, ir could also have come from a Shelby
newspaper. I have included the obit exactly as it is in the newspaper.
DIES IN DENVER
"Frank Schlage, former owner of the Churchill House passed away early
Wednesday at the Porter Hospital in Denver, Colorado.
Mr. Schlage had been in ill-health for some months which necessitated the
selling of the tourist home early this fall and their removal to Denver.
Immediately upon his return there he entered the hospital for surgery and
except for a six-day period at home had been hospitalized until the time
of his death.
Mr. and Mrs. Schlage first came to Shelby in the fall of 1946 when they
purchased the Churchill House from Mr. and Mrs. Frank Galoit.
Mr. Schlage was a member of Denver Lodge F. & A.M., Knight Templars and
Shrine. He would have been 65 years of age on Nov. 22 having been born in
Chicago in 1886.
Surviving besides his wife at 650 S. Federal St. in Denver are a son,
George; two grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs Edward Mayer of Whitehall and
Mrs. Clara Bleucher of New Era, and two brothers, Paul and John of
Chicago. Another brother, Gus, died six weeks ago in Chicago."
With no date I would assume this was around 1951?
Frank Emil Schlage, b 11/22/1885 d. ?. He married Emma M Marker, b.1888,
m. aft. 1900. They had one child, George LeRoy Schlage. Census record
show them in Cook, CO. IL. and then in 1920, Denver, CO. The census
records show Frank born in Michigan, but one shows he was born in Germany.
Can someone point in a direction that I could find some info? I would
greatly appreciate the help.
