Frank & Addie had 5 children - Eugene Bradley, Bernice viola, Harry C, Dana Faunce & Nellie. Nellie is a bit of dead end for me. She is on the 1910 census as being 2 months but not on the 1915 census with the family which indicates she must have died before then.

Toll of Two Lives Taken When Motorcycle Crashes Into Pole; One Injured
Harry Wilson, motorcycle driver, almost instantly killed - Clinton Clark of Bolivar, dies one hour after accident - Larry Wasson of Bolivar, is seriously hurt.
Two are dead and one injured as a result of a motorcycle crashing into a telephone pole at Prosper, between Main Settlement and Ceres last night. The dead: Harry Willson, 20 years old driver of the machine, son of Mr and Mrs Frank Willson of 620 East State Street. Clinton Clark, [25] years old, an oil well worker of Bolivar, married. The injured: Larry Wasson, 42 years old, an oil well worker of Bolivar, married, right shoulder blade fractured and possible internal injuries.
Deaths of Willson and Clark were caused by fractured skulls. Willson, it was reported, was hurled against the pole. His head was crushed and the jaw was fractured in two places. Clark and Wasson, riding in the side car, were also thrown from the machine. Clark landed on his head, the left temple striking. Edward Colomey, a chauffeur, was the first to reach the place after the accident occurred. He was driving a big car. He said he saw other persons rushing toward the place, but they told him they did not see the accident when it occurred. Mr Colomey took Willson and Clark in his machine and rushed them to the Mountain Clinic. Wasson, who did not seem severely hurt at the time, was brought to the hospital in another car. Willson was dead when the Clinic was reached. Clark died one hour later. The accident, according to one supposition, was caused when the front wheel of the machine was caught between the car tracks and the pavement, bringing about a change in direction in the motorcycle and sending it against the post. It was also thought that the steering apparatus when wrong, but, if it did, it will never be learned from investigation of the machine, for the motorcycle was wrecked in the collision. Coroner [E B Burdren] deemed an investigation unnecessary as the collision with the pole was plainly an accident. Bodies of the dead men were taken to the Helwig undertaking establishment last night. The body of Clark was later taken to Bolivar and the body of Willson was taken to the family home this morning. Mr Willson is survived by his parents; two brothers, Eugene and Dana, and one sister, Mrs A J Swanson, of this city. He was a member of Company I, 74th Regiment and secretary of the Olean Motorcycle Club. Mr Clark was a married man. Mr Wasson is married and has a wife and two children. Funeral services for Harry Willson will take place in the home at 230 o'clock Friday afternoon. Rev Hugh Boyd will officiate. Burial will be made in Pleasant Valley Cemetery.
