Francis had 11 children w/Lola Belle (Bruce) Children are:
At the time of his death he was quoted as saying he had ten children. Not able to find Mary in the 1910 census. She either died or was adopted after being removed from the home. Also, the boys went my many names, which has caused much confusion. I believe Lenan; Len and Lynn are the same person. Found with the same middle name on probate record.
