SEEKS HIS RELATIVES
Man Who Went West Fifty Years Ago Communicates With Postmaster Here.
Assistant Postmaster Southward has received information from an acquaintance in Elk Grove, Cal. that Jabez Buell Franklin, many years ago a resident of Richmond, is attempting to locate his relatives whom he has not seen for fifty years.
Franklin was born in Richmond and lived here for some years. About fifty years ago he left Richmond and went West. Since that time he has not seen or heard from any of his relatives although they were numerous enough at one time. Now that he is seriously ill and unable to take care of himself, he is making a desperate effort to locate his relatives. He has, or has had at the time of his departure, three brothers and two sisters. His brothers are: Emmila Franklin, Howard Franklin, and James Franklin. His sisters are Emma Franklin and Alice Franklin.
He is asking that his relatives or friends communicate with him at once.
NOTE: The birthplace and names of siblings are not a match to the known information about Jabez, son of Charles and Catheine (Kitzmiller) Franklin, but the "near Elk Grove" location is in Sacramento County, CA, not a long distance from San Francisco. DLB 2020.

ELHANAN H. FRANKLIN, OF BERRETT, MARYLAND, ASSIGNER OF ONE-HALF TO WILLIAM A. DORSEY, OF SAME PLACE
CULTIVATING-PLOW SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 468,743, dated February 9, 1892.
Application filed April 13, 1891, Serial No. 388,670. (No model)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ELHANAN H. FRANKLIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Berrett, in the County of Carroll and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cultivating-Plows, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that class of cultivating-plows in which the drag-bars are laterally adjustable to work the shovels closer together or farther apart.
The main objects in view are to provide for the lateral movement of the drag-bars at one side of the plow independent of those at the other side, to provide for raising the drag-bars on pivots to elevate the shovels from the ground, and to provide an improved construction of colter and wheel to facilitate side-hill plowing.
To this end the invention consists in the novel features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
............................."
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
ELHANAN H. FRANKLIN
