``Mollie'' as she was familiarly known, was of a bright and sunny disposition, according to her obituary.

Mollie and her sister Elizabeth married two Showalter brothers.

Frank remarried, according to a letter that he wrote to his sister-in-law Gertrude Torpey dated Jan. 6, 1914. But he doesn't name his second wife in his letter. He notes that she was a widow of five years, a native of Kentucky and that she had been living in Kansas City. He had met her through her son.

The stationary he wrote that letter on was for Central Stables, a livery stables on the corner of Fourth and Mary Streets in Glendale, California and indicates he was the proprieter.

Family records show Frank was buried with Mary in Glendale, CA, but his death notice says he was to be buried in St. Francis Cemetery in Phoenix (with the funeral from St. Mary's church in Phoenix). His St. Francis burial is confirmed by cemetery records.
