Excerpt from In Memoriam: William Buel Franklin, February 27, 1823, March 8, 1903Major-general William Buel Franklin, U. S. V., one of Hartford's best known men, died yesterday morning at his home, No. 144 Washington street. He had been failing for several years and consequently his death was not unexpected. He began to sink Saturday afternoon, gradually lost consciousness during the night, and died at A. M. Without any suffering. Charles Weiser, a nephew, and Miss Emily M. Brace, were with him when he died. General Franklin leaves two brothers, Samuel Rhoades Franklin, rear-admiral of the United States Navy, retired, of Washington, D. C., and Colonel Walter Simonds Franklin of Baltimore, who served with dis tinction in the Union Army in the Civil War, and was on the staff of General Sedgwick and was by his side when the latter was killed. Another nephew, William Weiser, by General Franklin's deceased sister, lives in York, Pa., and there are six other nephews and nieces, children of Colonel Franklin.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
