Aunt Ruth's Book, Frank's Autobiography, page 2, paragraph 3

It was a happy childhood that we children spent in our new home for it was filled with love and peace between our parents and us. Many are the happy memories which have lingered with me hallowed by some sorrows. For it was there that my brothers’ [sic] Earl and Clarence were born. Earl was born on the 6th of April 1890 and died on the 28th of March 1892 being the first child buried in the new Mesa Cemetery. Clarence was born on the 1st of June 1893 and died on the 26th of May 1895 as a result of mumps being buried next to his brother Earl in Mesa Cemetery. Both of them were beautiful boys and as President Collin R. Hakes told mother, “They were too pure and beautiful to remain here, and were called home for a greater work over there.”
