The "wife of judge O.S. Franklin"...Hello! The "wife of judge O.S. Franklin" is my great aunt.<br /><br />Her name was Virginia Henney Frnaklin. Our family has the newspaper clipping that tells about Sandburg's visit to Des Moines and his rendevous with Virgie. While it's true that they were an "item" when they were in college, she ended up marrying a successful attorney who later became a judge.<br /><br />I have her big platinum diamond engagement ring, something a poor poet (Sandburg) couldn't afford!kprphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05154311141484840575noreply@blogger.com
