The Enterprise, Jan. 14, 1887
Miss Jane Franklin, died on the 7th of January, at the residence of her
nephew, Mr. F. Franklin, of Jasper county. She left the bedside of her dying
brother, Carter to seek her own, which she never left until loving friends
ceased their ministration for her recovery and prepared her for the grave. She
leaves many friends besides relatives, to mourn her loss. She desired to burden
no heart with her portion of life's sorrows, what ever they were she bore them
alone, giving ever to her friends a cheerful face. Said a friend, over her
grave, "I never saw Miss Jane other than in a cheerful mood." Deeply attached
to her brothers and sisters and the affectionate friend of her neices and
nephews she lived, among them, a peaceful and quiet life, ever ready to minister
to their pleasures and comforts.
Kind friends, around "Starrsville," who had known her all her life met her
for the last time at her brother's, Mr. A. S. Franklin. We wept over her calm
white face, then gently bore her to her last resting place beside her parents.
The snow covered earth seems like a white shroud around her grave but "Life's
fitful fever is over" and she has found rest. "From her fair form violets yet
may spring" and from her pure life good may come to those who loved her.
-A Friend.
