George Washington Franklin was born the youngest of seven children on 
January 27, 1914 and grew up on a farm in Oklahoma. As a young man he 
traveled throughout the Southwest including trips to Cuba and Panama. 
He tried various jobs and met his future wife Martha Niswander while 
setting pins at a Southern California bowling alley. George worked 
hard for more than fifty years in a business he owned installing and 
cleaning carpets in Burbank, California. He and Martha raised four 
children and often took them on Christmas trips to visit relatives in 
Oklahoma and Ohio. After Martha Franklin died in 1987 George often 
traveled throughout the United States. Though he was strongly 
independent, George will be remembered for his unfailing help of 
others, his quick wit and ready smile. He spent the last two years in 
Ukiah, California near his sons and died peacefully on February 25, 
2007. He was ninety-three.

George is survived by his brother James Franklin, his son Roger 
Franklin and wife Becky Franklin, his grandchild Greg Franklin and 
wife Theresa Franklin, his great-grandchild Philena Franklin, his 
grandchild Daniel Franklin and wife Sarah Franklin, his great 
grandchild Ash Franklin, his son Ken Franklin and wife Susie 
Franklin, his grandchild Rosemary Hendrix and husband Jacob Hendrix, 
his grandchild Carey Franklin, his daughter Bonnie Franklin and 
husband Edward Finkelstein, and numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws and 
friends.
