BRO C.FRANKLIN

I have a dear friend, Mrs Emmalee Szymczk, who lives in Australia. Her Great x 2 Grandfather is Bro Charles Franklin who was a member of your Lodge in the late 1800s – early 1900s. In 1900, he was presented with a fob watch which is inscribed:

“1900

Presented to BRO C.FRANKLIN by the Wor Master Wardens (Treble Clef) Brethren of the BULWER LODGE of CAIRO No 1068 in appreciation of his Services as Organist”.

I’ve attached some photos of the watch which I know you will tweak your interest.

Bro Charles was a most interesting man as can be read by following this link:
