Individual Record for: Walter Frank Colby (male)

Notes:

!Notes: Born near Johnson City, in Owego, New York. Had 7 children. Had a vault of family heirlooms, including an old, pre-print Bible. It was a great big, heavy book with a snap, done in beautiful handwitten script, and seen by many of his g randchildren. Walter Frank's second wife Julia is said to have insisted on selling many of the heirlooms. She apparently wanted to donate the Bible to a museum. Walter Frank and Julia lived in Diamond Springs, California at Walter Frank's death . She has since moved to Lawrence, Kansas. She is said to still have the Bible in her possession, although it has not been seen since Walter Frank's death. His body was brought back to Kansas for burial.
