Clyde Arthur Bruce: Aka Frank Williams: Drug Addict

Clyde Arthur Bruce born 14 May 1882 in Everett Woodson, Kansas to Arthur William Bruce (1847-1910) and Caroline "Carrie" Bump (1852-1918). He was married to Nelena Florence Orme 11 Apr 1909 in Prescott, AZ. They had a daughter Farne Bruce born in 1912.

He was also Inmate #2801 in Leavenworth Prison

My belief is that he was a hardcore addict. If you read his prison cards where it describes his scars, he has hypo marks on both arms.

He had three siblings I found:
Jessie L Bruce 1871-1950
Alfred James Bruce 1874
Rollie Chester Bruce 1881-1959
