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. This address no longer exists. Liberty Street stops
in the 600s and the area where 1005 Liberty Street is part of a railroad yard.
Earl Franklin is shown on the 1900 census and also a 1901-1902 city directory
as living alone and working as a laborer. He may have worked nearby at the
Joliet Iron Works-- now a registered historic site. This was a major employer
located a block west of the 200-300 blocks of Liberty Street. Since, when he
died, he worked as an iron worker at the St. Louis Screw Company, he appears
to have had special skills related to work in an iron factory.

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 later 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.
