The information below is from an obituary in Henry County, Indiana. This man was not one written up for where and what he had done. Which is a shame for I would imagine that he could tell some interesting tales. To most of the world he would just be an "average man". *He retired from Pendleton Reformatory where he had been employed for over 12 years. He had also worked in construction and for the City of New Castle pouring concrete and had delivered newspapers for the Courier Times for over 15 years. He was a member of the Eagles and Moose Lodges, in New Castle and was also a member of the Henry County Saddle Club. He enjoyed showing horses with his daughter and traveling. He also enjoyed traveling cross country on motorcycle and racing Midget Cars at Mt. Lawn and Winchester Speedway when he was young. He was a stuntman at Old Tucson, Arizona and ran the Snake and Salmon River in Idaho on a raft. At the age of 74, Franklin was a cook at Chengea Bay Fishing Camp in Alaska* >From Hinsey-Brown Online Obituaries,May 3, 2013 Marilyn -- "If you don't get outside every day, even for a minute, you have not appreciated what God has done.
