Flora Etta Franklin was the second child of at least 10 children, born to Samuel Franklin and Sarrah Spangler while they were residing in Indiana. Samuel Franklin became a sort of sibling of Sarrah, when Samuel's father married Sarrah's mother, after both of their spouses had died. Sarrah's parents had married in Virginia, but moved to Alabama, where her father, John Spangler died shortly after. Sarrah was born in Alabama, and then her mother Susannah (Hensley) Spangler moved north around the time of the Civil War, to go meet her brother Isaac Hensley living in Indiana. Here, Susannah met David Franklin, Samuel's father and they married. David Franklin was a biological father of 9 children, and Susannah (Hensley) Spangler had 6 before she was widowed. Their two children, Samuel Franklin and Sarrah Spangler, married in 1871 in Sullivan County, Indiana. And Flora was born in 1874.
In 1883, the Franklin family, left Indiana for Kansas and Colorado. Samuel's father David, and brother James, John and David, all left Indiana together. They first stopped in and around Galesburg and Thayer, Kansas. They then went on to Washington County, Colorado. In Fort Morgan, Samuel and Sarah Franklin, and their 5 children resided on a sheep ranch. Four more children were born in Denver and Washington County, CO. Sarrah (Spangler) Franklin died in 1893 from childbirth complications. She was buried in the Thurman Cemetery, in Abbott, Washington County.
Flora Etta Franklin was a young lady of age 19 by the time her mother died and she had been dating George Trim. The Franklins lived near the Trim family South Ranch House, and Flora married George in 1893. He was widowed, they believed, as his wife had taken off a few years earlier, and there was no word from her. George and Flora had five children by 1907, when she began to suffer from complications of the last birth of their baby boy. Flora died in March 1907, and her infant son was placed with a local family who was able to care for him, while George Trim worked. According to our family notes, the baby however, died a few months later from croup. He is buried in the Glen cemetery with his mother and another infant son.
