Frank died in June 1902 at the Los Angeles Veterans Home where he had only lived for about a month; he is buried in the LA National Cemetery; he was an active member of Gen. O. M. Mitchell Post of the GAR. His step-daughter Alice Mosher died July 1902 and is buried in IOOF Cemetery; funeral director was Perkins and Oliver. His widow, Maggie, married H. Hamlin, optician, in 1903, but they were divorced in 1905-6. Newspaper article mentions F.C. Updike as administrator of F. X. Lembert estate. Do funeral home records exist for Perkins and Oliver?
