When the Hastings moved to Highspire, the majority of the family joined the United Brethren church. One daughter, Sarah, joined the Church of God.

According to a Nov 1981 letter from Ella Mae Schiefer, Frances' granddaughter, several of the Miller family and an Aunt Sallie visited from time to time during the summer vacation. Frances daughter, Sarah, was probably named after Aunt Sallie.
