| Howard's Probate Certificate |
 |
| Carlton's Probate Certificate |
 |
| Franklin II's Probate Certificate |
These probate certificates are from July 1905 (click on images to enlarge). In June 1905, Uncle Will had assumed guardianship of three of
Franklin I’s children after Franklin's death in November 1904. By that time,
Howard was aged 17, Carlton was 14, and Franklin II was 4. The fourth brother, Sam, was aged 20 and
therefore was not considered a minor. Although Uncle Will did not have any children of his own, this generous act probably brought the
family closer together and must have fostered a great loyalty towards him.
Bob, I cannot believe you have these Probate Certificates. What a wonderful addition to our blog and to our ongoing story!!!
