Frank attended Reagan and Kindler schools near Esbon. In 1929 he moved to Esbon with his parents. Shortly after this he started working for Jim Dutton on a farm north of Esbon. This association continued until 1947 when he moved to a rural area south of Guide Rock, Nebraska. On November 25, 1956 Frank and Jacqueline M. Hoskins were married in Esbon, Kansas. Their children were two daughters, one, Christina Louise, did not survive past infancy. Frank and Jacque lived in the Nebraska communities of Guide Rock, Bostwick, Byron and Kenesaw where he farmed and worked as a farm hand until four years ago when he retired due to poor health.

He was devoted to his family and had many other relatives and friends with whom he shared many enjoyable hours. His life was saddened by the loss of his wife, who preceded him in death in March, 1976.
