27 Oct 1921 – 17 Sep 1927
Great-great-grandson of Philip Cardon and Martha Marie Tourn
Great-grandson of Louis Philip Cardon and Susette Stalé
Grandson of Emanuel Philip Cardon and Amelia Maria Merrick
Son of Jesse Leo Cardon and Francis Maude Farnsworth
Franklin Moses (Frank) “was a handsome child with dimples and blue eyes … (he) was struck down early in life by a cruel freak accident. A gun, which fell from the top of a trunk, discharged a bullet that hit the little fellow in the head, killing him instantly.” Frank was six years old.
For over 81 years this son had only a simple concrete marker he shared with his brother Jesse Leo Jr. written with a nail in the wet concrete to mark his grave. The Jesse Leo Cardon family raised the funds to have new headstones marking the resting place of two of their brothers, Franklin and Jesse Leo Jr..
The two sons died very young in life and had little chance to create an extended life history. Both Jesse and Frank were sealed to their parents in the Logan Temple.
