Biography
John was born about 1912 in Illinois.
He was the son of Harold Rockwell and Anna Schlapp, and the grandson of Civil War veteran Frank M. Rockwell of the 22nd Wisconsin regiment, also known as the "Abolitionist Regiment." There is a well-known daguerreotype of his grandfather, who aided a slave to freedom across the Union line in the early 1860s.
