Frank Lewis & Frances Paxman

Franklin Lewis was one of Birda's older brothers.

He married Frances Elizabeth Paxman (of Salt Lake City, Utah) on 18 Sept 1924 in the Salt Lake Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah.  
Thus she became Frances Elizabeth Paxman Lewis.
This was a second marriage for Frank, his first marriage being to Flossie Marie Hardy, which ended in divorce in 1919.
