Notes
- Dolores Bess Christiansen Frank gives information on her children in her letter to her great-grandfather Joseph Asa Jenkins. In a photo taken 1 Feb 1957, ages of the oldest child, Andrea Rose Frank, is given as age 9. I have estimated time of marriage by adding a year to that age, allowing for about 10 years for marriage, depending on date of marriage and date of birth of Andrea. Later records and references were found also on these children.

Obituary
TRUMAN FRANK
Former longtime Alaska resident Truman Andrew Frank, 70, died Jan. 14 in Bend, Oregon
A service was held Jan. 18 at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Bend.
Mr. Frank was born Aug. 13, 1921, inWeiser, Idaho, to Andrew Frank and Daisy Ritzuis Frank.
He served in the U.S. Army during World War II and was stationed in Alaska for a time. He later served with Gen. Douglas MacArthur in the Philippines.
Mr. Frank married Dolores B. Christiansen Jan. 8, 1953, in Winnemucca, Nev. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah. They raised three children.
After their own children were grown, he and his wife were foster parents to about three dozen Eskimo children.
For the most part, Mr. Frank lived in Alaska, a state that was dear to his heart, said a family member.
He worked in sales and managed jewelry stores, manufactured gold-nugget jewelry and mined gold for several years.
Mr. Frank worked in radio advertising for KFQD Radio for many years. At the same time, he was affiliated with the Alaska Sled Dog Association. He and his wife lived and raised registered Siberian huskies on their homestead, at what is now the University Center. He also raced dogs in local events.
In the '50s, Mr. Frank sold vehicles for Alaska Sales and Service. He did a great deal of oil painting, and taught painting to others in both Anchorage and Bend.
His family made this statement: "He was very artistic. He was known for his cheerful, sweet disposition and will be greatly missed by his friends and family. He was one of America's last true gentlemen."
Mr. Frank is survived by his wife, Dolores, of Bend; his daughter, Andrea of Texas; his sons, Greg of Phoenix, Ariz., and Michael of Anchorage; and five grandchildren.
