Frank's parents were Elizabeth Nitterhouse Hetrick and George Hetrick. Elizabeth is buried at Zion Reformed Church Cemetery (Chambersburg, Pa), along side other Hetricks.
Frank committed suicide at his home. The father of 12 was unemployed at the time and was despondent over debt. He was last employed by the Western Union Telegraph Company and was a former employee of the borough electric plant. "It is presumed that Hetrick, who was of nervous temperament, worried greatly over the fact that his house had been quarantined for nearly seven weeks on account of smallpox, his fourth youngest child, Edna, being the sufferer. The boys said their father had no assurance the borough would pay the bills contracted during quarantine and that he worried over this." (Statements taken from the Sept. 13 article published in a Chambersburg newspaper, the "Valley Spirit".)
Cedar Grove records indicate Frank and his wife Mary Jane have at least 2 of their children buried with them: George W. in plot H130 and Ruth in H128.
