Children: It is believed that Maybelle Berwick may have been married previously. Census records show children, Marie (born 1902) and Lee (born 1904), listed in the household with the surname of Frank. Their relationship is unknown. They are not children of Joseph's first marriage.

Gladys Frank was a daughter by Joseph's first marriage. After her mother, Lillian's death, she was raised in the household of her father's maiden aunts, Sarah and Julia Frank.
