    Some genealogies also report him as O F or Franci O.  He was reported simply as Frank in the 1920 census and then as Frnak O in 1930.  Frank, of course, would stand for Francis, normally.  He reported his name on his WWII registration as Oscoe Frank.  So it may be that Frank was his given middle name, not jsut a nickname for Francis.

    His obituary reports his name as Oscoe "Frank," indicating that Frank was a nickname, buit does not include the given name Francis.
