| Notes |
- Frances Tambo, the first born child of William Tambo and Elizabeth Fitzsimmons, was born 4 March l900 in Jessup, Pennsylvania. She was baptized in St. James Catholic Church in Jessup on l8 March l900. (Baptismal record) Her godparents were her Uncle Patrick and Jenny Mackrell Fitzsimmons.
Frances is said to have had curly hair and appeared as a child model in a local department store, according to her sister Pearl. She died of scarlet fever, according to her first cousin Dora Roberts Leek. She was about age 5 at the time, according to Pearl.
A burial insurance payments book, currently in the possession of Pearl's daughter, Lois Covert, indicates the names of other children in the family, including Eddy Mackerel, but not Frances. It is probably her death that cause the family to buy such insurance. This book's entries start in May, l905, so it is likely that Frances' death occurred early in l905.
Shortly after Frances Tambo's death, her playmate and cousin, Annie Roberts, daughter of George Roberts, Sr., and Annie Fitzsimmons, also contracted scarlet fever and died as well. Both Frances and her cousin, Annie, are buried in the same grave lot of the Roberts' family, according to Madeleine Roberts Evans, another daughter of George and Annie Fitzsimmons Roberts.
The lot is marked by the stone of Anna Fitzsimmons Roberts in St. Patrick's Cemetery in Blakely, PA. off Highway 6.It is just below the grave of the family matriarch, Anna Joyce Fitzsimmons at the extreme right and 6-7 rows from the bottom of the hill.
No record of Frances' death is recorded in the Lackawanna County Court House as compulsory vital statistics reporting was not made law in Pennsylvania until l906, a year after Frances' death.
Mention is made of Frances Tambo in the l900 Census record at the age of two months at her Fitzsimmons grandparent's home where her mother was visiting on l2 June l900. Reference to this record has been cited earlier in this history.
Perhaps a record of her death will be found in the records of St. Patrick's, Olyphant, where the Tambo Family worshipped.
