Franklin Family Researchers United Newsletter Franklin Family Researchers United Newsletter Charter Issue October 1991 FFRU Charter Issue - Page 1 (2nd Edition) About the Cover The picture on the cover (a reproduction of a photograph taken in 1987) was the home of John Watson Fran- klin (b 30 March 1859 Trinity County, TX - d 31 August 1935 Sabine County, TX) & Mrs. Anna (Huffman) Burkhalter Franklin. It is located in Hemphill, Sabine County, TX. John & his first wife Melissa Jane Renfro married in Angelina County, TX in 1881. They lived in Angelina County, TX, Catahoula Parish, LA and Sabine County, TX and were the parents of 6 children. They were living in Patroon, Sabine County, TX at the time of her death in 1917. After the death of Melissa, John married Mrs. Anna (Huffman) Burkhalter - a widow with several children. John & Anna were the parents of 2 children. The home which still stands was built in 1922 on land that had been in the Huffman-Burkhalter family for many years. It is a four room home...Two rooms across the front and two rooms across the back. The two front rooms (equal in size) probably served as a living room and a bedroom. The two rooms across the back (equal in size probably served as another bedroom and a kitchen. In later years, it appears from this writers’ personal tour, that a bath and hallway (centrally located) was added - an area taken from the two back rooms. Virgin pines were cut from the spot the house now stands and was taken to the nearby mill where the timber was cut into suitable lumber for the construction of the home. The land was leveled and the home built by John Watson Franklin. The total cost of construction was estimated to be under $1,000.00. John farmed the land surrounding the home and before his death in 1935 the house was sold to other family members and is not presently being lived in. There is no absolute knowledge. Those who claim it, whether they are scientists or dogmatists, open the door to Tragedy. All information is imperfect. We have to treat it with humility. That is the human condition.

    Will and Codicil I Benjamin Franklin of Philadelphia, printer, late Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States of America to the Court of France, now President of the State of Pennsylvania, do make and declare my last will and testament as follows:— To my Son William Franklin late Governor of the Jerseys, I give and devise all the lands I hold or have a right to, in the province of Nova Scotia, to hold to him, his heirs, and assigns forever. I also give to him all my books and papers, which he has in his possession, and all debts standing against him on my account books, willing that no payment for, nor restitution of, the same be required of him, by my executors. The part he acted against me in the late war, which is of public notoriety, will account for my leaving him no more of an estate he endeavoured to deprive me of. Having since my return from France demolished the three houses in Market Street, between Third and Fourth Streets, fronting my dwelling-house, and erected two new and larger ones on the ground, and having also erected another house on the lot which formerly was the passage to my dwelling, and also a printing-office between my dwelling and the front houses; now I do give and devise my said dwelling-house, wherein I now live, my said three new houses, my printing-office and the lots of ground thereto belonging; also my small lot and house in Sixth Street, which I bought of the widow Henmarsh; also my pasture-ground which I have in Hickory Lane, with the buildings thereon; also my house and lot on the north side of

To be a philosopher was to be one who systematically inquired into nature, often in ways that we would today consider science. e Society’s purpose was thus to “promote useful knowledge” by bringing the greatest thinkers in the British colonies together to share all that they knew and were learning.

  • From Apprentice to Journeyman to Partner: Benjamin Franklin's Workers and the Growth of the Early American Printing Trade
    From Apprentice to Journeyman to Partner: Benjamin Franklin's Workers and the Growth of the Early American Printing Trade The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne. —Geoffrey Chaucer, "The Parliament of Fowls" ANY APPRENTICES IN THE EARLY American printing trade must have felt as Chaucer's fabled craftsman did. Beginning M at a young age, they commonly spent up to seven years as contractually bound, unpaid laborers. They usually had to promise not to gamble, fornicate, frequent taverns, marry, and buy or sell or divulge secrets of the business. Apprentices worked long hours, often performed menial tasks, and were subjected to beatings—all without pay. Yet apprentices endured the arduous existence because it held for them the promise of eventual self-employment. Their goal was to learn a craft they could practice when their apprenticeship expired.1 The apprenticeship system was essential to the growth of the early American press. Apprenticeships to printers were a means of vocational education that replenished and augmented the craft's practitioners, thus insuring a sufficient supply of skilled labor through which the "art" (special skill) and the "mystery" (special knowledge) of printing 1 For an example of the apprentice's obligations, see Samuel Richardson, The Apprentice's Vade Mecum (1734j reprint ed., Los Angeles, 1975), 2-20. On the menial nature of some tasks, see O. Jocelyn Dunlop and Richard D. Denman, English Apprenticeship and Child Labour: A History (London, 1912), 19-20; Sharon V.

Freshwater 7 6 The research and writing on the decendents of Reuben II was done in 1984, 1985 and early 1986. The 1979 edition had partial information but ln this final edition every attempt was made to bring i t up to date naming all decendents. First, research was done to bring early ancestry up to the point of living decendents. These decendents then were contacted by phone and occasionally in person. Once the person contacted realized all was authentic they responded quite enthusiastically for the most part. Only basic information was requested but if more was offered, it was taken. Many copies of segments were mailed to those fur - nishing information . Some responded with corrections or addit~ons. Mailing questionaires was not satisfying. Replys were rarely received. My conversations were pleasant and gratifying with the many people contacted. There was generally alot of interest. Occasionally you'll find where some families were not brought up to date. The effort was made by us. We have supplied the latest available leads if others wi~h to pursue further. The method used to indentify generations are as follows: 1st generation I -II etc. 2nd generation a - b etc. 3rd generation (a) - (b) etc. 4th generation 1. - 2. etc. 5th generation ( 1) - ( 2) etc. 6th generation ( I ) - ( I I ) etc. 7th generation not often attained; referred to as daug., son My sincere thanks to those who assisted with family information.

  • California Teachers Association Advocate for Students and Public Education
    HONOREE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION ADVOCATE FOR STUDENTS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION The California Teachers Association is the state’s larg- est professional employee union, representing more than 325,000 public school teachers, counselors, psychologists, social workers, librarians, nurses and education support professionals, among others. It has become one of the nation’s strongest advocates for students and educators, and is also a leading proponent of civil rights and economic equality. CTA has been a strong supporter of living wage policies, including LAANE’s 2008 LAX hotel living wage law. CTA has won many landmark victories in its 150-year his- tory, from legislation providing free public schools and free textbooks for all of California’s children to laws banning child labor in the state. In the 1940s, the union was one of a handful of organizations to protest the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. CTA led the critical campaign in 1988 to pass Prop. 98, the law guaranteeing minimum funding for K-12 schools and community colleges. Educators joined with parents in passing legislation to reduce class sizes in our earliest grades and led campaign efforts to pass more than $30 billion to build new schools and repair rundown facilities. CTA also played a pivotal role in defeating Gov. Schwarzeneg- ger’s 2005 ballot initiatives that would have cut school funding, undermined the due-process rights of educators and silenced the voices of public employees. Last year, CTA led the fight to pass Gov. Jerry Brown’s Proposition 30, which stopped $6 billion in education cuts to schools and colleges and will generate $47 billion for public schools, colleges and other essential services over the next seven years.

Beyond providing for our national security, the military installations in Oklahoma (Altus AFB, Fort Sill, McAlester Army Ammu- nition Plant, Tinker AFB, and Vance AFB) have a tremendous economic impact in the state. They are economic engines that employ Oklahomans. Illustrating the importance of these installations: • Over 69,100 military personnel, federal civilian personnel and contractors were employed at Oklahoma’s military installations in FY 2010. • These jobs, and the operations at the installations, supported an additional 64,700 jobs in Oklahoma’s economy for a total employment impact of more than 133,800 jobs in the state. • Impacts on Oklahoma’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is value-added economic activity, totaled more than $9.6 billion in FY 2010, which was more than 7% of the size of the state’s entire economy.
