She was a lifelong resident of Boston, a member of King’s Chapel. Two small books by her were privately printed, one a collection of poems entitled _A Book for Friends_, 1888, the other entitled _Essays_, printed posthumously in 1890. The first book contains a hymn beginning _Lord, beneath thine equal hand_, in three stanzas, 7.7.7.7.D., dated February 10, 1869, and written for the installation of Rev. E. H. Hall at Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1869. It is included in the _Isles of Shoals Hymn Book_, 1908, the first line altered to read, _Lord, beneath whose equal hand._ H.W.F. Ham, Rev. Marion Franklin, D.D., Harveysburg, Ohio, February 18, 1867—July 23, 1956, Arlington, Massachusetts. He was educated in the public schools at Harveysburg, but as a youth moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee to find employment. There he joined the Unitarian Church and, after serving it as a lay reader for several years, was ordained in 1898 as its minister, serving it until 1904. He later served Unitarian churches in Dallas, Texas, 1904-1909; in Reading, Massachusetts, 1909-1934; and in Waverley, Massachusetts, 1934-1939. He began to write verse in 1888, and many of his poems appeared in newspapers and periodicals, some of them being widely reprinted. His collected poems were published in book form in 1896, entitled _The Golden Shuttle_, which reached a fourth edition in 1910. He then turned to hymn writing, and four of his earliest hymns were included in _The New Hymn and Tune Book_, 1914, viz:— 1. _I hear Thy voice, within the silence speaking_, (1913) 2. _O Lord of life, Thy kingdom is at hand_, (1912) 3. _O Thou whose gracious presence shone_ (Communion) (1912) 4. _Touch Thou mine eyes, the sombre shadows falling_, (1911) These are also included in _Hymns of the Spirit_, 1937, as are five later hymns by him, viz:— 5. _As tranquil streams that meet and merge_ (1933) 6. _From Bethany the Master_, (Palm Sunday) (1935) 7. _Heir of all the waiting ages_, (Advent) (1937) 8. _Ring, O ring, ye Christmas bells_ (1932) 9. _The builders, toiling through the days_ (Church dedication) (1925) In April, 1936, he wrote an Easter hymn 10. _Oh, who shall roll the stone away?_
