After their marriage, Frank and Amelia O'Ferrall settled in Minnesota but shortly thereafter went by covered wagon to the California and Nevada gold/silver area where they prospered and daughter, Medora, was born in San Francisco. The family retured from the west by boat to Panama where they crossed by ground transportation and then came by boat up the east coast. After a visit with relatives in western Virginia, they returned to MN where Frank prospered as a land broker and speculator. Later Frank and Amelia brought his neice, Helen Hand (my grandmother) from Mississippi to Minnesota and raised her as their own.
