The families remained close(by necessity for survival etc.)until the turn of the century, when the next generation began dispersing for the new opportunities around C.A. Frank and Louise were enumerated together in the 1910 census. Grants Pass, Josephine Co.O.R. where Louise had cousins. They returned to California before 1918. In 1918, I found Franks WWI Draft Registration in Oakland, Alameda Co., C.A. He lists his primary contact as Luella Decker,his mother. Suspected with this clue indicates Frank and Louise had split by this time, but that's just speculation. They were definitely apart by 1920, as Louise had returned to Healdsburg and thereafter enumerated (1920) as single or widow (a polite term for divorced often used in those days) Frank remarried on Feb., 1923 to Neva H. Scholle. They enumerated together in the 1930 census in Murphys,Calaveras Co., C.A. It would appear that this marriage too was ill fated, because in Franks WWII Draft Registration he indicates his wife Beatrice M. residence Vallecito, C.A. SSDI and C.A. death agree on death July 31,1968 in San Joaquin Co., C.A. Franks parents were Porter and Luella Decker. Mothers maiden name Cole( C.A.Death index)He enumerated with them in 1900 census. Bio by C.F.G
