His WW I draft registration card, filed 5 June 1917, records Frank Petitt, age 25, residence Vale, Ky, born 17 Mar 1892 in Rowan Co., Ky, occupation laborer, employed by Kentucky Firebrick Company, Haldeman, married, supporting a wife and three children.
The Kentucky death index lists Frank Petitt of Rowan Co. died in Fayette Co. on 11 May 1956, age 65.
Adjacent stones in New Sill Cemetery, off Christy Creek read:
Frank Petitt Mar 17, 1891 - May 11, 1956
Nettie James Petitt Aug 3, 1894 - Nov 19, 1965
A list of students at Haldeman school for the year 1929-1930 lists as children of Frank Pettit (spelled that way), Homer age 8, Rose age 6, and Paul age 15, born Nov 3, 1914. (Birthdates seem to be given only for the high school students.)

Census
1910 census of Rowan Co lists Frank Petit, 18, single, brother-in-law, w/ family of John W. Fouch. (Frank’s sister Lennie's husband; see his notes for details.)
Notes for Nettie James
I cannot find Nettie in the Kentucky death records. I also could not find either Nettie or Frank in the Social Security Death index, even using a Soundex match.
