Word has been received here of the marriage in Phittsburg [sic], Pa., of Miss Katherine Elizabeth Harrington, formerly of this city, to Francis C. Basim of Pittsburg. The marriage was performed in the rectory of the Church of the Holy Rosary in Pittsburg.
Mr. and Mrs. Basim are now keeping house on Shelland avenue in the smoky city.
Miss Harrington left this city about six weeks ago, informing only her intimate friends of her intention.

One daughter, Mary Mercedes Basim Davis.

They later divorced. She died in 1954, in NH, and her obituary mentioned only her daughter and 6 granddaughters.

He married second to Irene Ida Schultz on 22 Sep 1920 in PA. They had two children. They divorced in 1935.

In 1936 he married a third time, to Florence Kathryn Matz, but they divorced just two years later.

The WW II record lists his middle name as Calvin. Elsewhere, Carier is spelled Carrier. On the WW II record, his next of kin is listed as Mrs. CF Stratton (his sister).

"Annual report By Pennsylvania. Commission of Soldiers' Orphan Schools" shows that Frank and his twin sister Clara were students here since 1900. The report lists both parents as deceased, but in fact, only their father had died.
