Mrs. J. Franklin Called by Death
Funeral Services For Long Time resident of Plymouth Co. held Sunday
Death claimed Mrs. J.A. Franklin at her home, 627 Sixth Street S.W., Friday afternoon, January 26. She had not been in the best of health for several months but had been confined to her bed for only the past two weeks.
Arilla Jane McLain, the eldest daughter of Adam and Cynthia McLain, was born in Davis City, Iowa, August 6, 1865, and grew to young womanhood at that place. She was united in marriage with John Franklin on April 21, 1865, and came to Plymouth County on April 17, 1896, where she has since lived, with the exception of a few years during which the family lived in Oklahoma. To this union six children were born: one son, Cecil, died in infancy.
Those left to mourn the loss of a loving wife and mother are her husband, John A. Franklin, four sons, Carroll E., of San Diego, CA, L. Neil, of Los Angeles, CA, Claude and Dale of Kansas City, MO; one daughter, Mrs. J.E. Becker and four grandchildren. The children, with the exception of Carroll, who came from California for a short visit with his parents at Christmas time, were with their mother during her last days.
Mrs. Franklin is survived by two brothers, L.J. and Lyman McLain, of Davis City, and two sisters, Mrs. Bertha Rupert of Sioux City and Mrs. W.B. Hasbrooke of this city. One sister, Mrs. L.T. Bullington preceded her in death.
She was baptised 44 years ago and since that time has been a faithful member of the church. She gave unsparingly of her means and efforts for any worthy cause and was always happiest when she could help others.
Funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon from the Hildreth Memorial Church with her former pastor, Rev. Chas. Cox of Walthill, NE, assisted by Rev. Grahl of the Full Gospel Mission officiating. Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Gerling sang: "the Old Rugged Cross", "Face to Face", and "There'll be no Disappointment in Heaven." The pallbearers were Fed Parkinson, G.W. Smith, Chas. Tripp, Wm. Barinsky, C.Bergfield, and A. Gilmer. Interment was made in the city cemetery with Wiltgen's in charge.
Relatives who came from a distance were Neil Franklin, San Diego, CA, Claude and Dale, Kansas City, MO, Lyman McLain and son Maurice of Davis City, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Stevenson and daughter, Dorothy of Magnolia, MN, Mrs. J.E. Becker and P.D. Ruppert of Sioux City, Miss Cloyce Hasbrooke of West Bend, and Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Knapp, of Westfield.
The high esteem in which the deceased was held was indicated by the large number of friends, who attended the funeral.
