Miss Franklin had for several years been a pupil in the Jacksboro college, and by her winning disposition had won many friends in Jacksboro who were deeply grieved over her death. The Jacksboro Gazette Thursday, July 13, 1893 In Memoriam Miss Lena Franklin passed quietly away at her home near Christian 20 June 1893. She was 19 years old 4 April 1893 and was baptized into the fellowship of the Christian church 4 August 1892; just blooming into womanhood and the gardener claimed his own. And now to the sad and lonely father I would say, while I know your heart is broken and bleeding over the loss of this precious flower, remembers he was not yours, but only lent to you for a few brief years to cheer you on lifeÕs journey.
