The Tumut and Adelong Times 10 Dec 1940
OBITUARY Mrs. T. E. FRANKLIN The death at Brindabella at 2 p.m. on Friday of Mrs. Laura Beatrice Vivian Franklin, third daughter of the late William Henry and Emma (nee Gosney) Bridle, announced on Saturday last, removed another of our valued native-born people from our midst, and one of a family which occupies the highest esteem in the community that it is possible for any family to enjoy. Deceased was a sister of those ladies in our midst who are known widely and well, and throughout all stages of their ancestors' as well as their own careers have had the goodwill of our people. We speak from a general public sense as well as for social and private cir cles. Married at All Saints' Church, Tumut, on July 22, 1908, to Thomas Ernest (Leslie), youngest son of the late Thomas and Annie Franklin of Brindabella Station, she lived at the old station home all her life afterwards. There were four children to the union (Les, Beatrice, Nell (Mrs. Stafford Marsh) and Lindsay, Brindabella was the home of city and country tourists, who assembled every year to enjoy the ozone of the mountains and the fishing and other sport that that locality afforded, and amongst those people who enjoyed the hospitality and bon homie of the family circle where those the subject of this obituary was admired by for her amiable disposition and concern for the comfort of the guests drawn from all quarters. She had been a sufferer for many years since those Elysian days from heart trouble, and had been very ill for a fortnight before her demise, under the care of Dr. Hart, of Canberra, and the unremitting attention of her husband and family. On the Wednesday and Thursday of last week there seemed to be definite improvement in her condition, and hopes were entertained of her recovery ; but she had a very bad turn on Thursday night and died peacefully about 2 p.m. on Friday last. The casketed body was brought to her sisters' home (the Misses. E. R. and J. E. Bridle), Tumut, on Saturday by Mr. Gordon Dawes Mr. Franklin's nephew, accompanied by the elder son Leslie. The rest of the family arrived by car on Sunday. Mrs. Marsh (daughter), Mrs. H E. Bridle (sisterin-law, Sydney) and Miss Jessie Bridie, Tumat (sister), who had gone to Brindabella previously, were with them. The remains were taken to All Saints' Church at 3 p.m. on Sunday. The Chancel where the casket reposed was a bower of loveliness with Madonna lilies, against a purple background, on altars and elsewhere, and the many and lovely floral tributes around and on the choir stalls testified to the love felt for the departed. All Saints' had been the scene of the deceased's christening, confirmation and marriage, and she had been a constant worshipper, and a member of the choir, until her marriage. Besides her sorrowing husband and family, Misses Ethel, Jessie E. and Madge G. (Mrs. R. B. Patterson) Bridle, sisters, mourn their irreparable loss. Four brothers predeceased her, three as infants, and the other, William (Hilla), was drowned in the Tumut RIver , 20 years ago. Deceased was 56 years of age on 22nd October last. After a short service in the church where her youthful presence had been felt and appreciated, the funeral left for the Church of England portion of the Tumut New Cemetery. Before the service and at its conclusion appropriate and well-loved hymns were played on the Memorial Pipe Organ by the organist, deceased's sister, Miss E. R. Bridle. The last sad rites at the graveside were officiated over by the Rector, Rev. S. Broadfoot, while Mr. C. W. Burt attended to the undertaker's duties. The casket-bearers were Messrs. Leslie and Lindley Franklin (sons), T. E. Wilkinson, R. B. Patterson, Gordon Dawes and Gordon Killen. Many tokens of sympathy and kindness were shown to the family and mourners in varied ways.
