Migrating south from Iowa to Alabama, Frank & Ella settled for a while in a resort community known as Pleasant Mount, Missouri (now called Mt. Pleasant). While there in 1901 Ella gave birth to their fifth child (well past the customary due date). The child (Harry) died at birth and Ella died 11 days later. Ella and Harry were buried together in Pleasant Mount. Frank and Ella had previously lost another child (John Cleo b. 1892, d. 1894). Frank ultimately settled in Fairhope, AL. and in 1903 re-married to Ella's sister, Alice Hawley Penrose who went on to raise Frank's three surviving children by Ella: James Alton b.1886, Charles Vogel b.1888 & Irene b.1895.
