RKT note: The headstone engraved death year is 1958. Frakes family group sheet information had offered December 14, 1957 as the death date. Thanks to a FindAGrave contributor who found the published obituary it appears that the correct death date was Tuesday, December 10, 1957.

Note: The sister named in the obituary was Anna Frakes KUNCE ROUSH. She is buried in the same plot as James Frakes, with her first husband Edward C KUNCE.
