Frances' 1st husband, Clarence Lester Cochran, had died in 1929. Together they'd had at least six children. Frederick Elmer Brassfield was a neighbor by whom she gave birth to twin boys in 1933 (born as Charles Frederick Cochran & Arthur Francis Cochran, but later adopted and re-named as Alton Fredrick Jensen & Allen Francis Jensen). Records are scarce but it appears Frances had a difficult life. The twins were taken at 2 months of age and placed in an orphanage, where they were later adopted out at 6 months of age. At least some of her other children seem to have been spread out as well. By around 1936 or so she had married her 2nd husband, Francis Treftly "Treff" Provancha (who'd had at least three children from his 1st wife but had divorced). Together Frances & Francis "Treff" had a daughter, Beulah Mae, but Frances died one week after having given birth to Beulah Mae (who later went by "Virginia"). Francis "Treff" married his 3rd wife in 1941 and they raised Beulah "Virginia."
