Franklin
I have a typed copy from the Columbia Spectator, Adair
Co., July 17. 1888 describing a murder suicide. It begins:
On Monday of last week, Elias Franklin shot and killed James
B. Brent, near Munfordsville. It
then relates the circumstances and describes him fleeing to
a barn near Sulphur Wells, Metcalfe, Co. where he committed
suicide. Ostensibly this was over his sense of an affair
between Brent and his wife, a second wife, named
Margaret. There are supposedly two other newspaper
accounts of this in other publications. Was there an
obituary? I would like to know the name of his second wife,
when they married and what happened to the body of Elias
Franklin. His parents and first wife Susan Kemp were buried
in the local cemetery. Was he
also? I know what became of some of his children by his
first wife, Rosetta, Willie, Mary and Emma, but not his
second wife or the sons by his second wife, William Jesse
and Samuel Edward. Does anyone know about this incident and
what happened to members of the family? Thank you, Shirley
Maul (wife of a descendent)

McGlasson
I am searching for any information about my Great Grandmother Myrtle McGlasson (maiden name England ?). I think I have found her Father, Albert England who was born & raised in Adair County. I have census records for him for the years 1850 & 1870. His Father was Daniel England. My research leads me to think that he had two wives. The first was Luvisa J McKinney who would be my Great-Great-Grandmother. His second wife was Mary Eva (?). I have my Great-Grandmother's Obituary and at the time of her death (1959) she had three surviving relatives. A half sister, Mrs. Roy Branstetter who lived in Madison, Indiana; 2 half brothers Claude and Jessie England who lived in Park, Kentucky. Any information that you would have would be greatly appreciated, Gary Hudson gsh_46506@hotmail.com
