FRANKLIN buried in the Mt. Hope Cemetery in Galesburg. I believe he might be the son of my John E. FRANKLIN, who is also buried there. Have heard about Franklins listed in "Neosho County Cemeteries" by the Chanute Genealogical Society -- 1977: Permalia E. Franklin 1869-1904 John E. 1858-1940 James Arthur 1892-1939 Dora Mae 1897-1956 Are these names all on one headstone? Or is Dora Mae on the same stone as James Arthur? I do know that John E. and Permalia were married. Not sure if the James and Dora were. Is there anyone living near the cemetery, able to check the stones, and perhaps take a picture for me? I would be most appreciative! Is there a cemetery office at the cemetery? Is it possible to get a copy of the cemetery record for John E. Franklin and James A. Franklin? This might also tell me if an obituary was published for James. I do have an obituary for John, published in "The Parsons Sun" April 7, 1940. John died after James, so James is not listed in his father's obituaray (my theory), but I think he may be a son of John. Hoping the cemetery record would say. John E. FRANKLIN is the son of David, who died 1898 and is buried in the Thayer Cemetery. Thank you - thank you - for any helps. I live too far away, and believe James may be part of my FRANKLIN family.
