He was transferred to the light artillery, in which he served six months, and later three months as a mounted herdsman. In the fall of 1865 he was detailed to the provost guard , and later on the detective force, where he served until discharged , at City Point, in January, 1866. He returned to his home in Charleston township, and a year later went to Sullivan county , Pennsylvania , where he worked out and attended school at intervals for two years. Returning to his father’s home, he worked for his parents until the fall of 1886, when he bought fifty-three acres immediately east of the homestead, which he cultivated until his father’s death. He then inherited the homestead property of sixty acres, and became the owner of 113 acres of well-improved land. Franklin and his wife were members of the Wesleyan Methodist church, while their daughter Grace is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. In politics, the family were adherents of the Republican party.
