Mrs. Frank Langworthy, 65, who moved to Big Rapids from Grand Rapids with her husband six years ago, is dead. She leaves the husband, a son, Bernard Erickson of Detroit; three grandchildren in Grand Rapids; a brother, Noble Frank of Pigeon, and a sister, Mrs. Mildred Fanning of East Orange, N. J.

Franklin Langworthy was Mary Frank's third husband; her first husband was Christian Erickson and husband #2 was Lyman Morrison. Mary, who was born in Canada about 1863 was the daughter of Christian & Fannie Frank.

Mary's sister, Mildred, married (2nd) John S. Fanning of California; her first husband was a Mr. Montgomery with whom she had a son, Norman Montgomery. John Fanning was a "commercial traveler" who sold gunpowder. He won shooting matches and a monetary prize and also held a shooting record according to the New York Times. John also may have sued the estate of a Titanic disaster victim.

Mary Frank was Frank Langworthy's 3rd wife; his first wife was Lucy Willets and his second was Martha Prevorce. Frank, who was born in 1866 in Lapeer County, Michigan, was the son of Thomas & Almina (Richmond) Langworthy.

Louise R. Maxon, age 24, living in Elkhart, Indiana, b. Jackson, MI
Witnesses: Arthur D. Armand & Charles Fisher

In 1850, Louise Maxon, age 1, was living with her (probable) parents, Friend (b. NY) & Maribah (b. Canada) Maxon, along with Lydia, age 3, and Lydia, age 67, in Waterloo, Jackson Co., Michigan. There was another Louise Maxon in Jackson Co.; assumed Louise's son, "Friend," was named after her father, so I placed her in this family. Of course, I could be wrong.
