  Married	30 Oct 1917	Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio   [5]
  Notes	Frank and Amy were an unlikely match. He was a salesman's son from Minneapolis, she was a wealthy industrialist's stepdaughter in Cleveland. The matchmaker apparently was Anna Burhyte, the sister of Frank's uncle Marcus Fulton. Anna met Amy and her mother aboard ship while they were returning from tours of Japan in 1916. Anna must have told Amy and Frank about each other; 18 months later they were married. But the fairytale ended quickly. Their infant son Tommy died of a stomach disorder, and then Amy died of tuberculosis.
  Children	1. Thomas Francis Ansley,   b. 8 Oct 1918, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio ,   d. 22 Jul 1919, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio  (Age 0 years)

• Notes

  After Amy's father died, her mother married Cleveland industrialist Thomas H. White, as his second wife. Attended Wells College, Aurora, N.Y. Name: Amy's last name has been recorded as Brennan, Brannan and Brannon. The most likely version is Brannan, as that is how several different newspapers spelled it at the time of her wedding, and it matches the spelling on her death record.
