Uncle Frank, brother of my grandma Laura Chafee Remington
Uncle Frank drove a Greyhound bus in California.
50th anniversary of my great-grandparents Frank & Mamie Chafee, 17 July 1946. Son Frank is on the right. I am not sure who the lady on the left is, although I probably should know. Could it be sister Estella?
About 1955: Uncle Frank with his parents in California just before my Great-Grandpa Chafee died; maybe with one of Uncle Charlie's sons -- not sure.
Uncle Frank and his mom, my Great-Grandma Chafee, c1956
Notes
In the 1920 Federal Census, Frank is age 24 and living at Brooklyn, New York, working at the Kings Co. Hospital.
In the 1930 Federal Census, the family is living on Plain St. in Providence, RI. Frank, the father, is noted as "absent."
Frank left his family in Rhode Island and moved to southern California, where he became a bus driver for Greyhound Bus Co.
The birth record at Bristol says he is the first child of Frank & Mary Chafee. It may be that he was the first child who lived, since I believe there was an earlier child, perhaps a miscarriage or death in very early infancy.
