In 1884, Frank was working for the Railroad in Sioux Falls, South Dakota where he met Anna M. Stol.

Frank and Anna were living in Decoria Township, Blue Earth County in 1895.
Frank and Anna Swanson had a hired girl by the name of Anna Hohle. Frank fathered a child with Anna Hohle in 1894 while under his employment. Anna Hohle stayed in the Swanson home with her daughter Cajsa after her birth.
In 1897, the entire family (including Anna Hohle and Cajsa) moved to Foxhome, Minnesota. Frank had bought land in Foxhome, Wilken County, Minnesota in June 1899 through April 1900 and started to build a hotel and livery barn.
Frank believed the railroad would eventually run thru Foxhome and he would build a town and make himself a name and money. According to the 1900 census, Frank and Anna Swanson, along with children Albertina & Oscar are living at the hotel along with Anna Hohle and Anna Swanson's half brother, Carl Geving. Absent is Cajsa. Cajsa was living at the hotel with Anna Hohle, but she is not enumerated on the 1900 census.

Frank is a farmer. Cajsa is not listed next to their son Oscar on the census. She is listed after the hired laborers that live on the farm.

26 Apr 1910, Frank is living in Maine Township, he has been married to Anna for 25 years and still farms. They became owners of a fine 400 acre tract which was heavily timbered, but by their untiring efforts it became one of the finest farms in Otter Tail county. Only son Oscar lives at home.

On their return they again took charge of the farm, but later they sold half of the farm to their son-in-law, Richard H. Butler, and the other half to their son Oscar.
