    When Frank Jr. died, he died without a will on 17 Nov 1921.  On the probated records Mae (she didn't go by Mary) Louise Heinz gave as names and ages of legal heirs:
       Mae Louise Heinz            wife  age 25    residence- Topaz, MI
       Floyd Leonard Heinz        son   age 7 yrs       "              "
       Inez Marie  Heinz             daughter  5 yrs       "    "
       Carol June Heinz              daughter  4 yrs       "   "
       Leslie Eugene Heinz         son         2 yrs       "  "
       Lyle Frank Heinz               son          6 months    "    "

    Mae must have wanted to change Uncle Lyle's middle name from Kenneth (his birth name) to Frank after her husband died, but never made the legal steps to have that done.    The ages of the kids is somewhat off- but Floyd would have turned 7 in less than two months and Leslie would have been two the following spring, Lyle was only 5 months old, etc.  The death date seems to be the one accurate date on this document, since it was to do with his death.

    Frank had not written out a will- and so at his death everything went to Probate.
    (Kathy Brown) have 38 pages copied by the Probate court in Ontonagon County that all state Frank died on the 17th of Nov------ not the 14th as given me by Joanne Howse.
