It just tells that he died in Miami and that he had a wife and child. Leads me to think that his wife may not have known much about his past either!! The reports of his death in Florida just talk about the tornado that killed him and no information about his life. I have been looking into Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania newspapers but nothing so far. <br />Thanks so much for stopping by and reading!Cheri Hudson Passeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02439902368387077263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790218656177439568.post-15812335417568899692013-02-20T22:52:18.080-05:002013-02-20T22:52:18.080-05:00You have a lot of information about Frank already ...You have a lot of information about Frank already -- two discharge certificates, a page about his enlistment from Ancestry, a tombstone, a 1920 census from SC. You are really putting together a picture of this person. I assume that you've looked for obituaries in local papers, whether from FL or SC? I found a second cousin who died in CT, and there were newspaper obituaries both in Waterbury CT and in his hometown of SC. Local libraries will sometimes send you copies of the full obituary from a small local paper.<br /><br />Laying out all these certificates is really impressive!

I would suggest researching the two units he was assigned to. Many, many WWI units wrote their histories following the war and you may be able to find something out that way. You could also look for write ups in the local paper, I've found quite a bit on my WWI ancestors just by mention of their participation in the war. Good luck!Heather Kuhn Roelkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247311735034470203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790218656177439568.post-76356153340921899512013-02-18T16:33:15.803-05:002013-02-18T16:33:15.803-05:00Yes,there are Sullivans in the Directory. There ar... Yes,there are Sullivans in the Directory. There are several Franks and even some Frank E.'s too. Was a popular name among the Sullivans!None living at that address. I have made a list of them to see if I can determine a connection. He is not in the census in 1910 for Ohio and in the 1920 census he was in SC. I am not sure if he was a renter or owned the property. That is something that I need to check. Thank you! As far as being married before, I have wondered that too and have searched for any information that would lead me in that direction. <br /> Thanks so much for reading and giving me such great suggestions. It always helps to see your research through someone else's eyes!

He was older when he married Mary Christine; makes you wonder if he hadn't been married before.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702339364049300749noreply@blogger.com
