Shared note	Sis' papers: Frank and his wife came with his brother Michael and family. Michael gave Frank his land near New Rockford. Frank "Red" had 2 sons, one died while a young lad. ND Naturalization records list a Francis Jr., from Ireland, declaring on 8/18/1883 in GFC. Vol D6, pg106. And Francis, possibly the same person, from Ireland, was designated a citizen on 10/25/1894 in GFC. Vol F24, pg625. Found obits : Oct 26, 1923 in "New Rockford Transcript" and Oct 25. 1923 in "Farmers Provost" of New Rockford. Died as a result of a fall from hayloft. Info in obit is (probably) in error - had the wrong birth year and wrong year of coming to North Dakota.
