Hello Logan County, Looking for anyone researching the following family. Lucy Meade is listed as widow, head of household in 1920 census, Logan Co. WV. Lucy Meade - age 40 Essie Meade - age 13 Morris Meade - age 12 Russell Meade - age 10 Hazel Meade - age 8 Polly Meade - age 7 Eula and Eunice - age 4 1/2 Opal - age 1 1/2 I'm interested mostly in Essie Meade and where/when she died. She is married to Ray Fronk at about age 16 and has two daughters, Beatrice b. 1924 and Fern b. 1925. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Marcia Fronk
HI... let me start off by saying that Lucy Meade in 1920 was in Wayne Co. WV... not Logan Co. ...she was still living in WAYNE Co. WV per the 1930 census: Mead , Lucy 50 wd WV KY KY Morris 22 WV WV WV Russell 19 Hazel 18 Polly 17 Eunice 15 Eula 15 Opal 12 FRONK, FERN 6 KY WV WV...grand-dau. FRONK, BEATRICE 5 KY WV WV ...grand-dau. the 1900 Wayne Co. WV census shows: Frunk, William 42 PA PA PA...bn. Dec. 1867...day laborer {Wm. was the s/o Cyrus & Jemima Fronk} Algalaine 29 WV WV WV..bn. Oct. 1870 Ellen?/Abbey 2 WV PA WV..bn. Oct. 1897 BEATRICE 5/12 WV PA WV..bn. Jan. 1900 1910 Wayne Co. WV census: Mead, Isaac 31 WV IN WV....[Isaac died in 1919 per the www.wvculture.org death record shown for him] Lucy 28 WV WV WV ESSIE 3 Morris 2 1910 MINGO Co. WV Census: Fronk, Wm. 52 PA PA PA...cook at a lumber camp Algelania 39 WV WV WV...same Beatrice 12 WV PA WV RAY 8 WV PA WV says Wm. & his wife have been married 22 yrs. having had 10 children with only TWO still alive. it seems that Ray named his 2nd daughter after his older sister, yes? 1920 PIKE Co. KENTUCKY census: FRANK, Wm. 62 PA PA PA Coal miner Allie 48 WV WV WV RAY 17 WV PA WV ...coal miner ------------------------------ the big break came when i found an ESSIE PRINCE who had died in 1950 in Wayne Co. WV! her parents are listed as Isaac Meade and Lucie / Lucile STEPP.... so in the 1930 WAYNE Co. WV Census : PRINCE, Byrd 21 WV WV WV ....state road worker ESSIE 22 Byrd Jr. 3/12 you can look at this for yourself at the www.wvculture.org site ! it says she was buried in a family cemetery site....perhaps on her parent's farm? as to what happened to Ray Fronk, is still a mystery...i looked all over the U.S. Censuses in 1930 for him under Frunk, Frank , etc. w/o any luck... he may have passed away, but i find no death record for him...sorry. the only close listing was for a Ray Franks, age 25, bn. in WV...who listed himself as 'widowed'...in Washington Co. OHIO in 1930...working as a telephone lineman and lodging with an older couple. and i find no listing anywhere for Ray's parents after 1920 in Ky either. ok...hope this helps !
