A Lucas Family History which this writer received by email from a Lucas relative, says that Frank Lucas died in an accident at the age of 14. It did not say what kind of accident.

It is assumed by this writer that Frank is buried in the Ford Cemetery as this cemetery is reportedly located on the farm that belonged to Frank's mother's first husband Elisha Baldwin, and was where Frank and his parents lived. Later, James and Charity Lucas were buried in the Ford Cemetery, according to the Lucas Family History. Therefore, it is logical to assume this is where Frank was buried.
