NOTE - This marriage info is a little suspect. The birth dates of Frank are not the same; the months are different as well as the year. I have no other information that he had moved to Allen County, Indiana. The license indicates that it is the first marriage for both unless the clerk was unsure about what "once" meant because the bride's surname (Berghof) was different than her father's surname (Cole).
