Frank and Cleattie first came to Titusville in 1920 while traveling with the Hagenback-Wallace Circus. Frank was the Circus Band Director and Cleattie worked as a seamstress, making beautiful circus costumes. She also formed her own circus act with trained goats. They decided to make Titusville their home and lived in the vicinity of the old courthouse and St. Gabriel's Church and near the Pritchard family. Frank became director of the Titusville Community Band, providing many hours of family band concerts on Sunday afternoons in the band shell in downtown Titusville. Developing local music talents was one of his many passions. He was in charge of the construction company that built Walker Bridge, the first wooden bridge built over the Indian River to Merritt Island in 1922. They were proud parents of three children, Richard L., Dorothy (Blount) and Harold "Baby" Campbell. Cleattie was a devoted homemaker and well known in Titusville for her sewing skills. She was a charter member of the Pythian Sisters along with her friend, Pauline "Miss Lovie" Pritchard. "Miss Lovie" was godmother to Dorothy and her son Richard, and Mary Schuster was godmother
