Frank first married Elizabeth's sister, Annie (see below). Several months after Annie died, Frank and Elizabeth were married in New York City. No children were born to Frank and Elizabeth.
In 1856, Frank started in the dry goods business in Maine, but soon moved his business to New York City, where, by 1865, he had developed a large dry goods manufacturing business. He moved to Boston in 1867, took over a famous restaurant (the Copeland in Scollay Square) and started in the coffee and tea business. He remained in that business until shortly before his death in 1916.
In 1871, he and Elizabeth and their family moved to a new home in Cambridge. He went into politics and served as a member and president of the Cambridge Common Council, 1875-76. In 1877, he was Mayor of Cambridge. He continued to be involved in civic affairs until shortly before he died.
In an article about Frank, son Herbert (who succeeded his father in the family business) writes: "He was a fine example of the old New England type of self-made man, helping to support his mother when he was hardly ten years of age, and starting in business on his own account when only twenty-one. He had a clear head for all financial matters, and he exercised a lasting and beneficial influence on many of the affairs of the city which he loved and served" ("Memoirs," THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL REGISTER, 72 [op. cit.], xxxiii).
Most of the information about this family was found in the article, "Fletcher and Nason Family Bible Records" in NEW HAMPSHIRE FAMILY RECORDS, Vol. 1 [op. cit.]. The editor of that book, William Copeley, states that this information was provided by Frank and Annie's daughter, Annie Elizabeth Allen.
Elizabeth's Death Certificate (a copy of which was obtained from the Massachusetts State Department of Public Health, Registry of Vital Records and Statistics) corroborates the fact that Elizabeth's (and, by extension, Annie's) parents were Alvah and Jane (Phinney) Scribner.
