FRANK J. TRAPP My fourth great-grandfather, is Frank J. Trapp, the father of Lillian Trapp, who married George Howe Breaker. Frank was born in Germany and spoke German as his mother tongue, before learning English. Frank was also a confederate soldier in the Civil War. It was during this time he met his wife Lillian. Frank lived in Houston, Texas with the Breaker clan, working as a jeweler. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The family story I've heard is he, "was just tired of living."
