Younger Frame lived with his parents until twenty-nine years old. After receiving an ordinary school education, he learned his father's trade, but has worked much more at farming, having now 212 acres in this and La Porte Counties. On February 28, 1861, he was married to Maria L. Weston, a daughter of Isaac and Louisa (Randall) Weston , and born March 7, 1839; her parents were early settlers of La Porte County. They have had three children - Hattie E., Cary J. and Chauncey R. During 1881-82, Mr. Frame has built a cheese factory, the only one in the township.
