Franklin K Platter's second marriage was to Mabel Scott on 27 Aug 1891 in Fort Scott, Bourbon County, Kansas. This marriage ended in divorce. Three sons were born to this union: Fred Jay, Frank K., and Ralph Jennings.

Dead Since Yesterday
There was no chair at Mr. Platter's place at the table but his plate had been used. Officers supposed he had moved his chair from its place to be nearer Mrs. Platter when she became ill.
The condition of the bodies indicated the deaths had occurred about yesterday noon. Investigators said fumes from a gas blaze will cause a victim to become very faint before he realized anything is wrong. This especially is true in a tightly closed room with an open flame and no fume outlet. Exhaustion of oxygen in the room brings on the fatal results.
Mr. Platter was born in Fort Wayne, Ind., 1854, and had lived in Pittsburg for 30 years. For twenty years, he was engaged in the meat and grocery business and for the last ten years, had dealt in kraut and kraut by-products exclusively. Coming to this district 45 years ago, he formerly lived in western Kansas.
Bodies at Smith's
Survivors include three sons, Fred Platter of Kansas City, Frank Platter of Parsons and Ralph Platter of Webb City; a daughter, Miss Clara Platter of Peoria, Mo., and five grandchildren.
Mrs. Alice Platter, formerly Mrs. Pierson, was 78 years old. Her former husband was Dan Pierson, who operated a lunch counter for many years here. He died nearly twenty years ago. No surviving relatives were reported today.
Both bodies are at the E. K. Smith chapel here.
