    • Theodore Frank farmed on rented land in Wantage twp., Sussex Co,. NJ, until 1899, when he bought a 140-acre farm a mile north of Vernon, NJ. he died the next year, leaving Susie with 3 children from 3 to 14 years old and a farm with a mortgage of $4,300. He left also personal property valued at $1,142.60, which included 15 cows ($30 to $40 each); 7 heifers; 1 bull ($25); 2 horses ($25 each); farm machinery and equipment; 3 barrels of vinegar; and house furnishings, including 96 yards of carpeting of different kinds. On Susie's death or remarriage, the property was to be divided among the children "mail and femail alike" (Wills, Superior Ct., Trenton 5505S). James A. Montross of Warwick, NY, was named executor.

      By hiring help or doing the farm work herself when necessary, Susie raided her family, paid off the mortgage, and enlarged her land holdings. In 1951, at 87 years of age, she still walked a mile to church in Vernon. In 1955 she was living in half of her own farm home. [1]
