A LONGTIME RESIDENT of Darien, Conn., Marty died suddenly and unexpectedly Feb. 2, 1991, at the age of 70. Death occurred at his East Dorset, Vt. home, where he had lived for the past 19 years.

In 1950, he married Barbara Ballantine. They made their home in Darien. While there, Marty worked as a quality control engineer for Machlett Laboratories. He was also a member of the Noroton Fire Dept. and the Noroton Yacht Club. After his move to Vermont, Marty became a real estate agent; at the time of this death he was zoning administrator for the town of East Dorset.

in addition to his widow, Marty is survived by three sons: Philip Garver Franklin of Longwood, Fla.; Lindley Maartin Franklin of Darien; and Steven N. Franklin of Boston. Also a brother, Edward Vernon Franklin of Martha's vineyard, Mass., and five grandchildren. To the survivors, we extend our deepest sympathies.
