Note: Frank J. and Jennie (Queen) Bartel are living on Mount Rose Avenue, Adams twp., Lucas Co., OH, in the 1900 Toledo census. Frank, 25, is
employed as a hammerman. Jennie, 26, has borne three children, but
young Benjamin, age four, is the only one living. Daughters Grace and
Bessie are to arrive later.
This is the only record we have been able to find which mentions Frank,
although we have searched county, state, and federal records, Toledo
newspaper files, Lutheran Church records and records for the Toledo
Public Schools. We have not found reference to the correct Frank Bartel.
The family does have a formal photograph of Frank Bartel, Emmett Queen
(Jennie's brother), and Henry Richmond (whose brother would later marry
Jennie). The three men must have been close friends.
Another formal photograph of Jennie's family (the Queens), taken about
1905, pictures Jennie with son Ben, daughter Grace, and infant Bessie.
There is no Frank at the Reunion. (This is about the same year that
Frank's mother Augusta was committed to the State Hospital. Bad year.)
It is believed that Frank left the family about this time, re-married and
continued to live in the east Toledo area with his second wife and her
children. Frank maintained no contact with his own children, although
his brother Albert visited the family on ocassion.
Frank Bartel's children grew to maturity without him, married and
produced many descendants.
