  • Introduction

    Frank's father was Wade Franklin Calaway (1900 - 1981) and his mother was Mary Pursselley Compton Calaway (1897–1991). From Find A Grave: "Frank served with the U.S. Navy during World War II in the Pacific Theater. He retired from the Houston Post in 1991 after 38 years of dedicated service. Father of wrestler Mark Calaway (WWE's Undertaker)." According to Betty Catherine (Truby) Calaway's biography page on AncientFaces, "Betty Catherine Truby, age 18, married Frank C Calaway, age 21, on July 20, 1947 in Comanche OK. Another record from Comanche has them marrying on Dec 24 1948 and states that she is 16. (Her mother is listed as D F Truby) There is also a record of them marrying on July 18, 1949 in Comanche. From these records, it looks as though Betty and Frank married 3 times within the space 2 years because Betty was actually underage the first 2 times? If you knew Betty, please "heart" her biography and clear up this mystery."
