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.

Famous quotes containing the words death and, death and/or estate:
“You stars that reigned at my nativity,
Whose influence hath allotted death and hell.”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
“So he with difficulty and labour hard
Moved on, with difficulty and labour he;
But he once passed, soon after when man fell,
Strange alteration! Sin and Death amain
Following his track, such was the will of Heaven,
Paved after him a broad and beaten way
Over the dark abyss, whose boiling gulf
Tamely endured a bridge of wondrous length
From hell continued reaching th’ utmost orb
Of this frail world;”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“I ‘gin to be aweary of the sun,
And wish th’ estate o’ the world were now undone.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
