The funeral home submitted the obituary for posting on the Jackson County Message Board. They provide what information that they can based on what the family provides them. It is not very likely that the funeral home are even aware of the Franklin family. The owners of the funeral home are much younger than I am. I have known Glenn or Jack Waggoner since I was a small boy but I was not aware or did not know any Franklin family here is Jackson County. Jack was married to Bernice Shockey who was a first cousin to my father. Bernice and my mother talked to each other on the telephone almost every day for many years. Their daughter, Donna, still lives in the area and I will check with her the next time that I see her to see if she knew any of the other Franklins besides her grandmother. I have been told that Bernice's health went quickly after Jack's death and it is not possible to learn any thing by talking to her.
