Hardin Perkins Franklin, married Martha E P Franklin (d 1866)
Deaths,
At her residence in Surry county, on the 20th of February, after a very short indisposition, in about the 69th year of her age, the much lamented Mrs. Meekey Franklin, widow and Relict of Jess Franklin, dec. late a Governor of this State. She has left eight children and a long train of connections, and a large circle of acquaintances to deplore her irreparable loss. Of her, it may be truly said, one of the brightest ornaments of society is gone. She was one of those rare characters, who in her many deeds of charity and benevolence, acted from disinterested motives. The poor of her neighborhood, can well testify to this amiable trait in her character.—Without dissimulation, she extended the hand of friendship—envy had no dominion over her—she never detracted from the character of others.—"Do unto others as we would have them do unto us," was her golden rule of conduct. In all the various relations of mother, mistress and neighbor, she was an excellent pattern for imitation—and in all the social obligations of life, she was truly exemplary in the discharge of her duties.
