Frank Zawacke (Franciszek Zawadzki) also used the alias of Frank Marvin. His parents, Wladyslaw Zawadzki & Katarzyna Kolek, were Polish immigrants who settled first in Chicopee, MA, in 1889 & 1891. They married there and later went to Suffield, CT, where Frank was born. In 1897 they bought land in Lehigh, Barron County, WI, and moved there.

Frank was the second of 13 children. At age 13 he hopped on a train and left home, never again returning to his family. He did write to his mother from time to time. He worked on a ranch in Texas for some time. He also served in the Navy in WWI. After returning to civilian life it is only known that he sold magazines and newspapers at a busy corner stand in California. He lived alone and died of tuberculosis at age 42. Betty, a much younger sister who never knew him or saw him in life, was working in California at the time. Eventually she was contacted to claim the body of her brother, and he was buried in the Military Cemetery in Los Angeles, CA.
