Lawry [they had married on 30 Sept,

A native of Kittery, he "had resided there during his entire life with the exception of the time he was serving with the 27th and 32nd Maine regiments during the Civil War". Frank, along with many others of the 27th, reenlisted into the 32nd ME Infantry when it was organized.
