Larry Dean Frank, the second child of Dean L. and Delilah (Herbolsheimer)
Frank, was born living, at Creighton, Nebraska. He moved to
Verdigre with his family in 1963. Larry worked part time while in

In November of 1970 he met his future wife while she was visiting
relatives in the Winnetoon area. They dated for 3 ½ years before
their marriage on June 1, 1974, at Verdigre.
Ruth Ann Fausset was the only child of Charles and Anna (Zila)
Fausset. Born living, at Omaha, Nebraska, she attended public

Her mother still lives in Omaha. Ruth worked at St. Vincent’s Home
and for Turnstyle stores in Omaha before her marriage.
Larry and Ruth purchased their home in Verdigre in 1974 from Roy and
Mary Ann Williams. In 1978 they began the major task of total
remodeling - a project estimated to take three months turned into
eight. The interior was gutted and an addition was added to the east
side. During this time they lived with Larry’s parents, moving back
into their own home five days before Christmas.
On living, Larry and Ruth became the parents of son, Jesse
Dean. Jesse was named for his grandpa, Dean L. Frank. Their second
son was born living. Gregory Charles was named for his
grandpa Charles Fausset and great-grandpa Charles Frank.
Larry worked for the Farmers’ Cop-op grocery store after graduation.
The store was later sold to Glenna and Shirley Heaton of Creighton
and Larry was manager. Larry and Ruth purchased this grocery store
and as of March 30, 1987, it is known as Frank’s Food mart.
