On about 24 July 1891, two Laramie, Wyoming newspapers, the Boomerang and the Republican, printed articles on the marriage of Frank and Anna. The Republican reported Frank came from Rawlins, Wyoming in 1879, and lived in Laramie since, except for four years in Grand Island, Nebraska where he first met his wife. The Republican also states Anna came to Laramie from Grand Island in 1882. The groom was reported to be employed as the foreman of the job office at the Republican and undoubtedly has a promising future before him (photocopies of undated newspaper clippings in the possession of the compiler).
Frank went on to become a partner in The Laramie Republican Company, and in the mast-head of the 4 February 1919 newspaper, he is listed as Secretary-Treasurer and Manager Job Department. The newspaper shows the Union Pacific Timetable with seven trains daily, both eastbound and westbound. The daily newspaper subscription is $6 per year; and in the Help Wanted section, a firm needs a stenographer; no objection to beginner; salary $10 per week (newspaper clipping in possession of the compiler).
The Laramie Republican was formed by William E. Chaplin, partly to fill the need for a Republican party organ in the county. About 1891, Chaplin took in two associates, Frank Spafford and James Mathison. The three worked effectively for a generation and the newspaper exerted wide influence throughout the state and region. In the early 1920s, the three partners sold out and in 1924 the paper became The Republican-Boomerang (undated newspaper clipping of Chaplin's obituary in the scrap book of Anna Spafford).
