Benjamin Franklin Schappelle
b. 1885
A little-known early 20th-century writer whose surviving record is frustratingly thin, he appears in library and catalog references more than in biographical sources. For readers, that mystery can be part of the appeal.

About the author
Benjamin Franklin Schappelle is an obscure author, and I could not confirm many personal details beyond the name and the birth year you supplied. In the sources I checked, there was not enough reliable biographical information to responsibly build out a fuller life story.
Because the record is so limited, it is best to describe him cautiously: as a little-documented writer associated with older catalog and archival traces rather than a well-preserved public biography. If you have a title he wrote, that would make it much easier to identify the right person and produce a stronger, more specific author note.
For now, the safest summary is that Benjamin Franklin Schappelle appears to be a poorly documented author born in 1885, with no clearly verified portrait or detailed life profile readily available from the sources consulted.
