Frank was a blacksmith for most of his adult life. He was also mentioned twice in the Detroit News as a Michigan inventor; for a Trolley Pole in 1900 and a Trolley Stand, in 1901.
On June 15, 1922 he lost his 21 year old daughter, Lillian, who was a music teacher.
At age 59, on the 1930 U. S. Census, Frank's occupation has changed to Realtor, likely due to the industrial technology used to create iron products.
His wife, Cecilia (Celia) Schoenherr died when 61 years old of injuries sustained in an auto/truck collision, on April 28, 1936.
It isn't clear when he remarried, but his death certificate shows he has a wife named Dora, or Nora, age 63.
He died at age 75 in Tippecanoe, Indiana on March 14, 1947 while on the road. His death certificate shows he was retired.
