Notes for Frank Louis BINGHAM
Supposedly kicked out of the house after being seen by his mother-in-law with another woman on the train. (This was between the Jarretts' 50th in March 1896 and the census in June 1900.) By 1900 he was remarried to a woman named "Maude" and living in Joplin. Before 1910, he married Nettie Monroe. They moved to Los Angeles in the 1910s and ran a boarding house. His mother followed him out to LA and was living with him in 1930. He reportedly died in a horse and buggy accident in Los Angeles and left part of estate to daughters; notice sent to daughters in MO, but they ignored it out of allegiance to mother. (SJM)
