Frank's family, L to R: daughter Elizabeth, wife Bernardina Labers,
daughter Anne, son Bernard, Frank, daughter Helena.

The significance of the farm picture is the family rift it created. Frank died in 1927 and Ben’s family lived on the farm with his parents. Ben’s mother didn't want to settle the estate with his sisters until she passed. When she died in 1930 the market crash had happened and all the money in the bank was gone. Ben’s sisters had him evicted off the farm just before Bertha gave birth to my dad’s youngest sister Mary Lou. There may be a warrant for eviction someplace I don't know. But it was sold for 30 cents on the dollar. They didn’t raise enough to give each sister $3000 inheritance and so Annie took $2700. Ben’s family had nothing.
