Frank Sterling Family

I don't know if this will help you at all, but my gr-gr-grandmother Martha Ann Tuttle McClain born 1826 married, in her old age, a man named Frank Sterling.(My gr-gr-grandfather William J. McClain had died back in 1898.)They lived at Columbus, Klickitat County, Washington (which is now called Maryhill).
The circumstances of this marriage are unclear, but at any rate not too long before she died in 1919 at age 92 she made a will in which she bequeathed all her property to her husband, Frank Sterling.Seems to have caused quite a stir among her disinherited heirs.She left a number of grown children and grandchildren.
That's all I know.No one has any idea what happened to Frank Sterling.A search of the Klickitat County land records might reveal where he sold the property in Columbus that he inherited from Martha.
Good luck.
