George Mayer Franklin of the Class
of Fifty-Eight died suddenly at~ his
home, Lancaster, Pa., Monday, May 15.

being the immediate cause.

charged with his regiment on the ex-
piration of his term of service, May,
1863. After a few months’ resumption

he resigned Oct. 29, 1864, and resumed
the practice of Law. After following

tered the hardware business of his

tion to these business duties, he was

Frederic Steinman in 1895. Thomas
Emlen is a member of the present

and thoughtful husband and father, he
was all the heart could desire or the
imagination conceive.
