(John) Frank Corrie
Frank Corrie and Mary Ethel Hunter of Zenda, Kansas were married August
12, 1908. They lived on the Corrie farm one mile east of town until 1916.
Parents of Frank Corrie left the Isabel farm in September 1908 and went by
covered wagon to Baca County, Colorado to claim land. I'm not sure how long
my Dad lived there before my parents were married, but I know he went to school
there and Grace (Corrie) Doner, his sister, was the teacher. So they must
have lived there 15-20 years.
Born to Frank and Mary Corrie at Isabel: F. Charles Corrie August 5, 1909;
Thomas Chester Corrie January 20, 1011; Helen Joyce Corrie August 9, 1913.
In 1916 they moved to Pratt, Kansas and Frances Claribel Corrie was born
there August 20, 1916.
Parents of Frank Corrie were Thomas and Nancy Corrie. Their other sons
were Edgar, Roy, Ezra, and Carl. Their daughter was Grace.
After we left the farm Mother's brother Jesse Hunter and his family
lived on the Corrie farm. Her other brother, Charley Hunter, may also have
lived there. At a later date they live about a mile east of there.
