INDEX
Notes
Earl Franklin was born in Muncie Indiana [1]. He probably grew up at a house
at the corner of Second and Mulberry where his father, Pierson W. Franklin,
worked as a miller [2][3]. The family had moved for some years to Minnesota
since census records show some children were born in Minnesota.
Some (possibly most) of the family died of tuberculosis. Earl's brother
William died in 1898 and his mother also died. This was an extremely
traumatic experience and it may have contributed to his early death as a
result of ulcers [4].
Around 1900-1902, Earl Franklin lived at 1005 Liberty Street, in a duplex at
at Joliet, Illinois. He is shown on the 1900 census and also a 1901-1902 city
directory as living alone and working as a laborer. Ruth Franklin was born in
Joliet on July 10, 1901. There is no record of the birth and no record of a
marriage. According to Phyllis McConnell Frick, Ruth had always had trouble
getting passports because she said that the hospital where records were kept
had burned down. However, the clerk at Joliet county had no knowledge of any
county records lost in a fire.
Earl travelled across the country. He worked in California, Texas, Colorado
Illinois and Missouri [4]. For much of Ruth Franklin's life, her father lived
away from home, working as a laborer or as a cook [5]. At one time he owned
a saloon in St. Louis [6].
In 1920 Earl lived at 1926 Warne Avenue, in St. Louis, Missouri, with his wife
Bertha and his daughter Ruth Franklin. Ruth (who was 18), left for college
soon afterward. Earl worked as an iron worker at the St. Louis Screw
Company.
On July 8, 1924, Earl Franklin died at Missouri Baptist Hospital in St. Louis
Missouri after an operation for a perforated gastric ulcer. The cause of
death was general peritonitis. To Ruth Franklin's disappointment, he was
buried before she could come to the funeral.
[1] The 1880 (and other census records) show the location of birth as Indiana.
The death certificate, State of Missouri, file no. 21655, gives his correct
date of birth but erroneously puts the location of birth in Minnesota.
[2] In a Muncie City Business Directory published by Kingman Bros, Chicago
1881, in "The History of Delaware County Indiana," Earl's father, Pierson W.
Franklin, is listed as a miller located on the corner of Second and Mulberry.
[3] The 1880 census shows the family lived on Second Street.
[4] Per Jon McConnell.
[5] Per Phyllis McConnell Frick.
[6] Per Ruth Franklin McConnell.
