Frannie is a town in Big Horn and Park counties in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The population was 157 at the 2010 census.
In 1894 Frannie's post office opened. Postmaster Morris, the town's first Postmaster, had a daughter named Frannie. Thus Frannie Morris had the honor of having the town being given her name. Until 1954 the legal status of Frannie was simply that of an unincorporated area taking in parts of Big Horn and Park Counties. In 1954 the town was incorporated. Under Wyoming law (WS 15-3-101) Frannie now has the status of an incorporated Town having less than 4,000 people.
The Town has a Mayor-Council form of government. The Mayor and the Council, together, comprise the Governing Body. The Governing Body has authority over the budget; other fiscal matters, and other major issues affecting the Town. The current Mayor is John R. ("Jack") Cordner. Mayor Cordner's current term expires during January, 2015.
As of September, 2011, Frannie had six employees: One full time, three part time, and two part-time seasonal (May - Oct.)
Steel hair and a wheelchair, I'm living day by day
My mind is getting slower and my body's in decay
But frannie, you're still beautiful, just like the day we met
I still know that you're coming when I see your silhouette
My legs can't hold my body and my arms are both so weak
The kids brush me away like I'm a dusty old antique
But frannie, you still look at me like I am 25
You're still my blushing bride and that's what's keeping me alive
I ain't getting any younger
And frannie, you're older too
But I ain't lost my hunger
I am still the one who waits for you, and
I'll be here from this day on
Until they stick me in the lawn
Yeah, I'll be here
There's no time to waste now trying to tell the world goodbye
Yesterday's so far away and tomorrow's all a lie
So frannie, take my hand and let's go live another day
It might not be our last, but it's a step along the way
I ain't getting any younger
And frannie, you're older too
But I ain't lost my hunger
I am still the one who waits for you, and
I'll be here from this day on
Until they stick us in the lawn
