Frank was very fond of horses. They owned a horse named "Duchess." Frank won a pedigree colt on a raffle. The colt was from some well known stables at Hope, North Dakota. The colt's pedigree name was "Lord Litton" however Frank named him "Lord Lightning." Frank painted a sulky red and was training the horse when he (Frank) became ill and died. Frank had a keen sense of humor. He said he was from Kentucky which is noted "for its beautiful horses and fast women."

If any of this comes close please get in touch I have considerable information on the descendants of Frank McLester.

Cordially,

Jack Murphy
