Dr. Frank Dale French was born on September 20,
1874 in Preston, Jackson County, Iowa.
He was the son of Melvin J. French and Mary L. Wyatt. Frank was raised in Van Buren, Jackson
County, Iowa.
In 1900, Frank and his widowed mother were living on North Olive
Street in Maquoketa, Jackson County, Iowa.
Frank was working as a dry goods salesman at that time.
Frank married Marie Frances Henry around 1901, probably in Jackson
County, Iowa. He was 26 years old and
she was 29 years. Marie was born on
November 27, 1871 in DeWitt, Clinton County, Iowa, the daughter of Robert
Wilson Henry and Amorilla Spencer Sanger.
Frank and Marie had one child:
Genevieve H. French born
in 1903
Genevieve
was born around 1903 in New York State. In
the 1920 US Census, Genevieve’s parents are listed as being born in France; however,
Frank and Marie were listed as having been born in Iowa. I wonder if she
was adopted, as she was not listed in the 1910 US Census in the household of
Frank French.
In
1910, Frank and Marie were living in Grand River, Cass County, Missouri. Frank’s brother, Wilton, and his family were
living nearby. Both Frank and Wilton
were partners in a dental office.
Frank
registered for the draft for the First World War on September 12, 1918 in
Harrisonville, Cass County, Missouri. He
was described as of medium height and build, with blue eyes and light brown
hair. Frank did not serve in the war.
In
1930, Frank and Marie were living in a home on Westport Avenue in Kansas City,
Jackson County, Missouri, where Frank continued his dental practice.
Marie
Frances Henry French died on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1934 in Kansas City,
Jackson County, Missouri. She was laid
to rest in the Mount Hope Cemetery in Maquoketa, Jackson County, Iowa. Marie was 63 years old at her death.
In
1940, Frank was living with his nephew, Melvin French, and his family on Pennsylvania
Street in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri. Melvin was the son of Frank’s brother,
Wilton.
Dr.
Frank Dale French died on October 20, 1941 in the Kansas City General Hospital
in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri.
He died from internal bleeding, as a result from an accidental fall in
his home. Frank was buried in the Orient
Cemetery in Harrisonville, Cass County, Missouri. He was 67 years old at his death.
