    1. [MDGARRET] Franklin Mine

    3. My 2nd great grandmother's obituary (Elizabeth Jane Simpson) mentions that her husband Samuel died from injuries received in the Franklin Mine 22 years prior to her death in Bloomington in 1905. It says she was buried beside her husband in the Bloomington graveyard. It also mentions that she was "a most consistent member" of the M.E. Church. A few questions please for anybody who may be familiar with the Bloomington area: Would the Bloomington graveyard have a more formal name now? Does the M.E. Church still exist? Does anyone have any info on the Franklin mine? Does it still exist, etc.? Thanks, Rick Simpson
