Frank's first wife was Essie H. Friesner, 1891-1930+.
Frank and Essie were married in 1915 and are shown together in the 1920 and 1930 census.
Louise Preston apparently was the second wife of Frank Garner (they first appear together in the 1940 census).
Since Louise died in 1961 and Frank lived until 1984, Dora was his third wife.
