Frank came to Kansas with other members of his family in 1869. They settled in Neuchatel in Nemaha County. Frank and his wife, Jennie, cooked for the railroad crew in Graham County and western Kansas. They herded cattle on the plains of western Kansas when Bertha was a baby. One day while Jennie and the baby were in the covered wagon in which they lived, the cattle stampeded and Jennie was sure the wagon would be tipped over and they would be trampled to death. But the cattle went around the wagon and it stood. Frank and Jennie moved many times, attested by the birth places of their children. Frank farmed and worked for farmers in the Onaga area. He also worked with his son-in-law, Charles Bairow, in the flour mill in Westmoreland; and with another son-in-law, George Miller, when Miller and Hause did custom threshing with a steam engine. Frank and Jennie's children are: Bertha Rebecca, Walter Scott, Nannie Belle, Sarah Elizabeth (Libbie), Alice Lola, Mollie Goodren, Francis Lewis and Hallie Grace.
