The original question re Ira Franklin was in the CCC Camp thread. I started a new thread in case there are others interested in this family.

Info found online at Family Search Labs Record Search. Must register to use site but registration is free. Record is from *WV Deaths 1853-1970. There are other Franklins but I did not copy them. There was no listing for Bessie J., spouse of Ira D.
http://www.lindapages.com/marshall/index.htm has a listing for Meadow Dale Cemetery. Ira D. is shown buried on a 4 grave plot along with Bessie J. – 1898. Since Bessie J. is living in Moundsville with Ira in 1951 city directory, this may be a typo for 1989 or 1998. Or, she may not be buried there at all and stone was pre-engraved. Check courthouse records in Marshall Co. for possible record. This website also has a listing for Deaths which show other Franklins.
