Frank and Ethel's daughter Catherine Charlotte, born in 1920, died at age 10 of osteogenesis, devastating her parents. The year Charlotte was born, the couple lived with Ethel's widowed mother in Minneapolis and Frank worked as a "statistical engineer" for a "liquid air company." Still in Minneapolis in 1930, the year before Charlotte died, Frank was a police patrolman, following the profession of his brother Charles Joseph, who was also on the force in that city.
By 18 June 1938, when he married for the second time, Frank and Ethel had divorced. Tragedy fell for the new marriage, as well, when Frank's wife Elsie Bell Bailiff (1890-1941) died in hospital of an embolism cause by the extraction of a molar. The couple had no children. The Minneapolis City Directory of 1938 lists Frank as a policeman and his wife as Elsie B. The 1940 census also records that Frank is a city policeman.
On the last day of the year in 1941, Frank married Hazel Lucille Kuehmichel (1905-1972). In 1943, they adopted an infant they named Pamela Lucille (1943-2007), who was a loving daughter to them.
Frank died in a single-car accident in the city, his vehicle hitting a guard rail at a railroad overpass. He possibly had suffered stroke or heart attack and was found dead at the scene.
