Both Frank and wife Bessie naturalized in Clinton County, Illinois. (I’m not familiar enough with the process to understand what is described.) Frank made his Declaration on November 11, 1924. Bessie’s Declaration was on August 1, 1938.

It appears that Frank passed without a will and The Trenton Sun of Trenton, Illinois lists some details regarding Probate Court filings. Widow Bessie did not want to be Administrator; H.B. Hempen was appointed as Administrator. Announced in newspaper on Thursday, January 8, 1926, and again on Thursday, January 28, 1926.
