Woman, "Ma Franklin," posing outside a house with a goose. Photograph part of a set of images titled "Linville History." Article about Franklin in 10 August 1946 issue of THE STATE magazine written after editors met Franklin during "Singing on the Mountain" and she told them of her 58 year old goose named "Old Pied." Editors sent Morton to visit Franklin and "asked him if he couldn't do something to convince folks that Old Pied really was fifty-eight years old." Morton returned with photograph (not this pose) which that magazine published with accompanying story. Ma Franklin was 85 years old.
