On the evening of Memorial Day in 1961 George Frank was rendered unconscious when he was struck by lightning as he stood on the front porch of his home. The house and a nearby tree were also hit. (This house was located where the Marvin Herberts now live.) Mrs. Frank found her husband on the ground and took him into the house where he was unconscious for two hours. She treated him herself. He suffered burns on his lower left arm and had no feeling in that arm for some time.

George Frank died June 20, 1966. Anna died February 27, 1980. They are buried at St. Wenceslaus Cemetery beside their daughter Minnie and George’s mother.
