The Georgia Enterprise, Jan. 14, 1887
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
  Eudora, Ga., Jan., 12, 1887
  John Carter Franklin was born at Starrsville, Newton County, Ga. Nov. 3, 
1829, and died of spinal meningitis at Eudora, Jasper county, Dec. 30, 1886. It
was the good fortune of the writer to have known him intimately for thirty odd
years. He was a quiet unassuming man, yet firm in his convictions, clear in his 
judgements and prompt in his decisions. His uniform cheerful spirits, and the 
keen appreciation of the rights of others, was one of the strongest 
characteristics of his generous nature. He was a devoted husband, a tender and 
indulgent father, kind and obliging as a neighbor. He was successful in business
and of his bounty his friends shared liberally, and being surrounded by an 
ample competency, he many times became the foster father of the needy. Another, 
and perhaps the most prominent characteristic of his nature, was honesty. He 
was honest in his relations to his church, honest in his relations to society,
honest in his relations to his neighbors, and scrupulously honest in all of his 
business transactions. Gifted with a highly sensitive nature, he was strong in 
his affections, genial as a companion and steadfast as a friend.
