Johnny Cash sang about a boy named Sue. This bio is about a girl named Frank. Her given name was Frances, but from a young age, she went by Frank.
Frank was the daughter of Joseph Cline and Amy Courtwright, who married on 8 Jan 1845 in Richland Co., Ohio. According to the 1900 Census, the couple had eight children together. Those children were: George Perry, Thomas Albert, Mary Adella, Jenevra "Jenny" I., James C., Francis "Frank," Cassius M., and Harriet "Hattie" Priscilla.
I found Frank's parents and older brothers on the 1850 Census, living in Plymouth, Richland Co., Ohio. Joseph Cline 27, was a farmer. Amy 25, was home with George 3; and 1-year-old Thomas.
In 1860, they were in Shelby, Richland County. Joseph Cline, 38, was noted simply as a "laborer." Amy 35 was busy at home. Keeping her on her toes were Perry (aka George) 13; Thomas 11; Mary 9; Jenny 4; and James 2. Also there was 21-year-old John Cline, likely related to Joseph given his surname.
The Civil War erupted in the spring of 1861. Frank's brother George served with Co B of the 48th Ohio Volunteer Infantry which later became part of Co K of the 120th O.V.I.
The 1870 Census caught back up with the family, living in Shelby Twp., Richland Co., Ohio. Joseph Cline 47, was farming. Amy (Annis on the transcribed record) 46, was managing a household that still had six children running around in it—Mary 18; Jennie 15; James 12; Frank 8; Cassius 6; and Priscilla 4. Brothers George and Thomas had fledged.
It is unclear what happened to Frank's father Joseph Cline in the decade preceding the 1880 Census, but currently, there is no trace of him.
In 1880, Frank married John Castor and moved in with his parents. That decade's census placed them in Plymouth Twp., Richland Co., Ohio. Head of household was John's father Daniel Castor, widowed, aged 54 and farming for living. John's mother Mary has died a year earlier. Daughter Nora 20, was there to help with the household chores. John Castor 25, was helping with the farm. Frank, 18, was likely a welcome set of hands.
Here is where we take a moment of silence for that now-lost 1890 Census…
When the 1900 Census taker showed up with his/her oversized notebook, John and Frank were still in Plymouth Township. A lot had changed over the years. Five children had made their way into the world—Amy in 1881, likely named after Frank's mother Amy Cline; Mary Pearl in 1883; Frances in 1887, likely named after her mom; Daniel in 1891, likely named after John's father Daniel Castor; and George in 1896. Sadly, the family lost daughter Amy on 20 Mar 1898. She was only 17 years old. Sad times.
In 1900, John Castor 45, was busy farming. Frank 38 reported that only four of her five children had survived to that year, a sad reminder of the loss of daughter Amy two years earlier. The other four were still at home—Mary 16; Frank (Frances on the record) 12; Daniel 8; George 3. Living with them was John's 74-year-old widowed father Daniel. He died four years later on 11 Mar 1904.
It seems that John may have been supplementing his income with other endeavors. (From: The Mansfield News, Thu 12 Jun 1902 p.8) "STOLEN BRASS" Officers in Search of It—Plymouth Township Man Arrested. It was mentioned in last evening's Herald that a number of detectives were in the city looking up a number of cases involving the stealing of brass. A search warrant was secured and a number of places were searched, but all in vain. However, the detectives had a tip that some of the brass stolen was concealed on some farms near the city consequently they went on a still hunt and discovered a bag of the stuff on a farm on which John Castor resides in Plymouth township, with the result he was placed under arrest, but later was released on bond. His hearing took place at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Detectives Crawford, of the P.F., and Kirk Hayes, captain of the B. & O. police, and Tom Bell are in the city today and are making further investigations and no doubt more arrests will follow.—Shelby Herald."
Frank's mother Amy Cline was living in Indiana with Frank's brother George Cline and his family in 1900. At some point she came to live with Frank and John.
Frank and John's daughter Mary Pearl married Harry E. Hile on 20 Nov 1902 in Richland County. A week after the wedding, the family gathered back together for a funeral when Frank's mother Amy Cline died on 27 Nov 1902 at age 77.
There was another wedding on Valentines' Day, 14 Feb 1906 when Frank and John's daughter Francis married Clyde Powell in Richland County.
The 1910 Census revealed that John Castor was a free man, living in Jackson Twp., Richland Co., Ohio. John Castor, 56 was doing farm labor on a home farm. Frank 49, was keeping house. Only son George 14, was still at home.
In 1917, the world was at war. Frank and John's son George joined the fray on 13 Aug 1919 and served with the U.S. Marine Corps.
In 1920, the family was living on High School Ave. in Sharon Twp. in Richland County. John Castor 65, was not working. Frank 58 was keeping house. Son George, ,23 and working as a lineman for the telephone company, was there along with son Daniel 28 and working as a chauffeur for a private family, Daniel's wife Leontine 23, and Daniel and Leontine's 4-year-old daughter Alberta.
Frank's husband John died the year before the 1930 Census came due. The family lost him on 30 Mar 1929. He was 72.
Frank, widowed, age 68, appeared without her helpmate and companion on the 1930 Census living in a home she owned on Myers Ave. in Shelby Twp., Richland County. Son George was there, 33 and keeping the sales book for a shipping company (as best I can interpret).
Another decade slipped by and in 1940, the Census taker knocked on the same door on Myers Ave. to jot down the required information about Shelby Township's residents. Frank, 78, was still head of household, and George, 43, still was still managing the books at his shipping firm.
Four years later, Frank shook off her earthly bonds and passed into the light on 31 May 1943. She had made it age 81, outlived all of her siblings, raised four children, and buried a husband. That'll do, Frank, that'll do.
