My Grandpa and His Family

Being a small part of the story of my maternal grandfather’s family, including his parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, and their children and children’s children.

I was born in Detroit, MI on 16 October 1963 to Marilyn Ann Frank and Jack George Baldner. A small part of the story of Jack Baldner and his family is told elsewhere in this collection.

Marilyn Ann Frank, born 29 December 1941 in Detroit, is the oldest daughter of Walter Frederick Frank, born on 24 July 1915 in Detroit, and Lillian M. Wodtke, born on 24 September 1917 in Detroit and married on 28 September 1940. A small part of the story of Lillian and her family is told elsewhere in this collection.

Walter Frank was the son of Herman Frederick Frank, born 29 June 1894 in Taylor Center and Emma Reschke, born 27 September 1892 and married on 14 Nov 1913.

Herman was the son of Frederick Fritz Frank, born 1 March 1850 in Prussia, Germany and Mary Ahrens born 5 November 1851 in Germany. These two were married on 7 January 1882 in Cook County, Illinois, and immigrated that same year.

The first four children of Fred and Mary Frank were all born in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois:

1. Ida Marie Frank in November 1874,

2. Ernest Carl Frank in June 1876,

3. Elizabeth ‘Lizzie’ Frank in 1878, and

4. Albert Frank in 1879.

The 1880 census records show Fritz Frank as the 30 year old white married Head of Household Laborer born in Germany and could read and write. Mary Frank was the 29 year old Wife of the head born in Germany and occupied as Keeping House.

Ida was 5, Ernst was 3, Lizzie was 2, and Albert 9 months. The family lived at 152 Coblentz Street in Chicago, just north of Humboldt Park.

Coblentz Street was renamed McLean Avenue - after a local judge - during a major renaming project in Chicago during the First World War; the east-west streets having names which came from German people or places were all given names with more of an English sound: Wellington, Shakespeare, Dickens, … I do not know if the home that was once numbered 152 Coblentz is still standing.

5. John Frank was born on 10 May 1881 and passed on 20 September 1881 in Taylor Center, Michigan.

6. Minna Frank was born 6 September 1882 in Taylor.

7. Emma Frank was born 26 March 1884 in Taylor.

Most of the census records from 1890 were destroyed by fire or the water used in extinguishing said fire.

The 1900 census records show Fritz Frank as the 50 year old Head of Household having been married for 28 years and owned his farm with a mortgage. Maria was the Wife of the Head, also married 28 years and who had already given birth to 15 children, 11 of whom were still living.

There were five children living with Fritz and Maria in 1900, all born in Taylor Township, Michigan:

8. Augusta Frank on 6 May of 1885,

9. Anna (Annie) Frank in January 1887,

10. Martha Frank on 8 February 1888,

11. Willie Frank in January 1991, (this census says 1881 but we know better), and

12. Herman Frank in June 1894.

In 1900, the family lived in Taylor Township, Michigan.

Fritz Frank passed on 11 May 1905.

In 1910, Mary was the white female 68 year old Head of Household living at 600 Hubbard Avenue in Detroit, along with William 19, Helman 16, and Anna 23. William and Helman were both laborers in the auto factory industry and Anna was a wire-weaver in some unreadable industry.

1. Ida Marie Frank was born on 13 November 1874 in Chicago and passed in Detroit on 4 October 1948. In Taylor Center, on 13 September 1893 she married Charles Frederick Kenitz, born 25 December 1871 in Hamburg, Germany.

Ida and Charles had two children: A. Elizabeth Kenitz born 9 April 1894 and B. Ella Lena Kenitz born 28 March 1897.

In the 1910 Census, Charles F Kenitz, male, 38, white Head of Household born in 1871 in Germany and having immigrated in 1887, was listed as a Laborer doing Odd Jobs, could read and write, and owned his home free and clear.

In the Fourteenth Census of the United States: 1920 – Population records, the family changed their name to Kenietz. Chas was now a die setter in the auto factory industry, Lizzie was now 25 and a tunic keeper in the motor? Factory industry; and Ella was 22 and a Clerk in the Store (Dry Goods) industry. Uncle 4. Albert Frank now lived in the Lafayette home, 40 years old and single, and could read and write, having been born in Illinois. He was currently occupied as a Laborer in the Body Factory industry.

In 1930, the Kenitz family lived at 6254 W. Lafayette in Detroit. Charles was the Head, and owned the home worth $4000 as well as a radio set. This home was not a farm. He was 58, white, married since he was 21 years old, had not attended school but (amazingly so) could both read and write. He could still speak English and was occupied as a repair man in the radiator factory industry, employed but not a veteran.

1. Ida was the wife of the Head, 55 and white, having been married at 18 years of age. She had also not attended school but could both read and write and was not occupied.

Uncle 4. Albert was a single white male living with them, who had not attended school but could both read and write. He could also speak English and was occupied as a laborer in the lumber yard industry, employed but not a veteran.

In 1940, the Merrill Family owned the home at 7318 Navy in Detroit, worth $3500. Harry was now a Grinder in the Auto Parts Mfg industry. As the kids were 16 and 9 now, A. Elizabeth was working as a Contompimeter opr in the Department store office industry.

She was also the loving grandmother of Libby and Megan MacKenzie and step grandmother of Barrett and Ali Toole. Also surviving was a sister, Marge Reinholz (Art).

Frederick was an auto worker whose dad’s name was Fred and whose mom’s name was Bertha Shusky; Ella a Clerk whose dad was Charles and whose mother was Ida Franke. The good Pastor Adolf Mallick officiated in the presence of Albert Schinsky and Emily Reschke.

Being assigned Serial No. 136, Fred William Reschke of 645 Rademacher in Detroit, Mich., having been born on February 28 1897 in Detroit, Mich. U.S.A, and being a native of the United States registered for the draft. He listed his father’s birthplace as Rosenburg Germany and his place of employment as Hayes Manufacturing Co., Maybury Grand, Detroit, Mich. and the name of nearest relative was Bertha Reschke (Mother), sharing the same address as Fred. He described himself as white, medium height, stout build, blue eyes, brown hair, and not having lost arm, leg, hand, eye, and not palpably physically disqualified.

Carl M. Crissey, Registrar certified that the answers were true on June 5^th 1918.

A. Elizabeth and Harry Merrill, and B. Ella and Fred Reschke are buried together in Woodmere Cemetery in Detroit.

2. In 1918, 23% of the U.S. population registered for the draft. Ernest Carl Frank was one of the approximately 24,000,000 men who filled out and signed the card that may or may not have led the signor into war. His Serial Number stamped at the top was 3130, the Order Number filled in by someone else was a2040 (lower case ‘a’ there, like Dennis Tuomi used to make his report card a’s). Uncle Ernest began filling in his name on line #1 (First name) Earnest – note the extra vowel in the first syllable - (Middle name) Chas…then he crossed it out with two swipes, and to the right continued with Carl. Why? Was Charles his real middle name? Did he not want to sound too formal? Did he just misspell Carl and not have an eraser? He went on… (Last name) Frank.

He was 42 at the time, having been born on May 30, 1876, and he lived at Ro #2 in Farmington, Oakland Co, Mich.

RACE was his next multiple choice. His options were White, Negro, Oriental, or Indian (citizen or non-citizen). He X’d ‘White’.

U.S. CITIZEN/ALIEN was his next multiple choice. Under U.S. CITIZEN was ‘Native Born’, ‘Naturalized’, or ‘Citizen by Father’s Naturalization Before Registrant’s Majority’; under ALIEN was either ‘Declarant’ or ‘Non-declarant’. So, to add to the stress of signing up for fighting in a war that may lead to death, loss of limb, or worse, these young men had to be up on their Ellis Island vernacular. Ernest X’d ‘Native Born’.

Ernest listed his occupation as Farming, with Chas Goves his employer, R O 5, Farmington, Oakland Co, Mich. He listed Mrs Lena Frank, wife, as his nearest relative, living at RO #2, Farmington, Oakland Co, Mich.

He signed the card Ernest Carl Frank (without the extra vowel), affirming that he has verified above answers and that they are true.

Registrar William R Shaw then described Ernest as a Medium HEIGHT, Medium BUILD, gray eyed brown haired man with no loss of arm, leg, hand, eye and without physical disqualification. He certified his answers were true … on 12 September 1918.
