Sarah Frank 1858-1936

Sarah was the next-to-last child of William and Sarah Winkler Frank and was three when Noah died. She had an interesting life! She was a school teacher, and also started a business school in Carthage, MO. When she was in her sixties she went on an ocean liner to do missionary work in Hawaii. It was in 1921 when Queen Liliuokalani was on the throne.

We have several postcards and letters from her – she was quite a traveler. In one postcard she says she hopes it’s not too cold for her camping trip in Colorado – on that trip she visited her niece Minnie Lee and her family (including Mamie) at their home near La Junta, Colorado. Minnie’s husband, Henry was a telegraph operator for the railroad and they lived close by.
