Franklin S "Frank" Clinefelter

1871–

His mother Eve died of Remittent fever in 1880 according to the Mortality Census. Their father died in 1877.

Remittent Fever is a type or pattern of fever in which temperature does not touch the baseline and remains above normal throughout the day. Daily variation in temperature is more than 1°C in 24 hours, which is also the main difference as compared to continuous fever. Fever due to most infectious diseases is remittent.

Frank was a laborer in Seattle, his sister Idabelle was living there with her husband John Davis in 1920, but they were in Washington, they all returned to Pennsylvania where Isabelle died in 1947 although her husband died in 1956 in Washington. I couldn't find Frank anywhere. Maybe he committed to an asylum and they went and got him, or he died and they buried him there. I didn't find any newspaper articles or documents.
