Early Franklin Cemetery Records This portion was transcribed from the C.D. Phipps Collection that is housed in the Venango County Historical Society Library. Mr. Phipps was the caretaker of the Franklin Cemetery. A few names were added from the Franklin Cemetery list that were not included in the Phipps list. Please check the archives at the Franklin Cemetery for documentation. Section and lot numbers were different in many instances from the Franklin Cemetery list and therefore are not included in this list. Date of Interment 1890 - Jan. 30 – Child of J. L.
