Lumley Franklin - Death and Estate of Lumley Franklin, Esquire

Death and Estate of Lumley Franklin, Esquire

Franklin enjoyed travelling, and frequently travelled by steamship down to San Francisco. It was on a journey down south to deal with his deceased brother's estate, Edward Franklin, that he suffered a severe stroke on July 11, 1873. He became paralysed and eventually died on August 3, 1873 in San Francisco at age 65.

His brother, Selim Franklin, was the executor of the estate, which was settled in San Francisco, CA, as the place of Lumley's death. Lumley was most likely buried in Victoria, BC.

Lumley Franklin's estate was divided up as follows:

• 1/10 – Sarah Franklin (sister)
• 1/20 – Maria Ashton (sister)
• 1/10 – P. Lewis of Naples (brother)
• 3/20 – David Lewis of London (brother)
• 5/20 – Selim (brother)
• 1/10 – Walter Lewis (brother)
• 3/20 – to the children of Frank (brother)
• 1/10 to Elise Reynolds (sister?) and her son, William.
