Biography Sam Horace Franklin, Jr. was born in Dandridge, TN, September 23, 1902. A graduate of Maryville College (1924) and McCormick Theological Seminary (1929), he met Dorothy Winters at Maryville College and they married on April 29, 1927. In 1928, they traveled to Scotland to study at Edinburgh University and in 1929 embarked on mission work for the Presbyterian Church in Japan. Both their children, Kathleen and John, were born in Japan. Sam Franklin established Fellowship House in their home in Kyoto in 1929, opening their home for kindergarten classes, fellowship services, and Bible study groups. He received the STM from Union Theological Seminary in 1935. From 1936-1941, he worked with the Delta and Providence Cooperative Farms, newly founded to address the poverty and landlessness of African-Americans in the Mississippi. Sam was the Vice President (while Reinhold Niebuhr was President) and also worked as the Chaplain and Resident Operations Manager of the Farm. He continued to be involved on the Board for several years after he left the farms. In 1942, after the attacks on Pearl Harbor, he joined the Navy as a chaplain, and worked with soldiers in the 25th N.C. Battalion. In 1944, he was transferred to the Mariana Islands and while there, he worked both with US soldiers and with Japanese prisoners of war. With the soldiers, he conducted lectures, which presented his positive experiences with Japanese people and Japanese culture. With the Japanese prisoners of war, he assisted the military by speaking with them in their own language, and conducting Bible studies in prisons and hospitals. In 1946 Sam Franklin is to be found in Chicago, working with the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church, USA. When the Franklins returned to Japan in 1947, at the insistence of the Foreign Board of Missions, both Sam and Dorothy taught at Tokyo Union Theological Seminary. Sam was Professor of Christian Social Ethics. Dorothy taught English, and later became the Dean of Women. She directed Saffron House, a home for self-supporting blind women and received an honorary doctorate from Tokyo Union Theological Seminary. After the war, Franklin helped establish a cooperative farm in Japan, which was based on his experience with sharecroppers in Mississippi. When the Franklins retired from mission work in 1969, Dorothy received the Emperor’s prestigious Fourth Order of the Sacred Treasure award and Sam received the Fifth Order award at the same time. During the 1970’s, Sam Franklin worked with Hebron Presbyterian Church as an interim pastor, in addition to his work opposing racism and the nuclear threat, and his preparations for a book on the Cooperative farm movement.



Collection Scope and Content Note The Franklin papers consist of correspondence, photographs, sermons and publications covering much of the adult life of Sam Franklin, 1924 – 1994. Kathleen Todd has dated several letters throughout the collection. These dates are written on the papers in the top right corner, or on the back and such dates will appear in this contents list as follows (KT: Mar 2). The arrangement within each series is chronological. The collection is divided into 7 series, with one sub-series: • Series 1: Correspondence, 1910-1936, 4 boxes, 1.75 linear ft.

This series includes a numbered series of letters from Sam Franklin to his parents starting from Dec 7, 1928, written from Edinburgh, and another numbered series starting from July 1929, written when Sam and Dorothy Franklin were en route to Japan. Most letters are type-written in sequence. Some letters are not numbered, but the next letter takes up the numbering, as if the unnumbered letter formed part of the sequence. In addition to the numbered correspondence, there are letters from Dorothy to ‘Mother’ Franklin, Katherine, and to the Franklins from Scotland.

• Series 2: Correspondence: Delta, Providence Co-Operative Farms (DCF), 1936-70, 4

boxes, 1.75 linear ft. • Series 2 consists of correspondence, addresses, articles, photographs and some records

arranged in chronological order and relating to the operation and concerns of the farm during this period. Some papers relate to the Willie McGee case of 1951and the 1954 crisis on the farm caused by their public statement that “segregation is unchristian”. The final folders of this series contain miscellaneous later papers, 1970-1990, concerning the DCF and materials gathered for Sam Franklin’s book about Cooperative farms.

• Series 3: Correspondence: 1942-45, 3 boxes, 1.25 linear ft. This series consists mainly of correspondence, with sermons relating to the wartime experience of Sam Franklin as Navy Chaplain. After training at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA, Sam ships out in late Feb 1944. There are numbered letters both to Dorothy starting from Feb 24, and to SF’s mother starting from Feb 28. When the numbering on letters to Dorothy reaches 100, it starts again at 1.

• Series 4: Correspondence, 1946 – 1969, 4 boxes, 2 linear ft. This series includes correspondence from the Franklins in Illinois, while Sam was working for the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, through to the period where the Franklins were at Tokyo Union Theological Seminary, with furloughs in the United States. The numbered letters to Dorothy cease in 1947, because Dorothy and John join Sam in Japan. Letters to Kathleen, (called by her father, “Tiddles,”) and who is at Wellesley College, predominate from this point forward. Once Dorothy is in Japan, she becomes the primary correspondent to friends and family and there are many letters labeled “Dear Family” and “Dear Friends.” In parallel, there are also separate letters signed by Sam. Occasionally there are multiple copies of these letters, possibly sent to Katherine (Sam’s sister), Kathleen at Wellesley, and the grandparents. Sometimes a type-written letter to the grandparents has handwritten notes to Kathleen, and vice-versa. There is original water-damage to some letters from Sept – Dec 1947, and occasional later correspondence.



• Series 5: Publications and Miscellaneous 1930 – 1994, 3 boxes, 1.25 linear ft..

This series contains copies of Sam Franklin’s published articles and books, papers and reprints from contacts and a celebratory booklet for Sam Franklin’s 90th birthday in 1992.

• Series 6: Sermons and Notebooks 1928 – 1992, 3 boxes, 1.25 linear ft.

In this series sermons are arranged chronologically, followed by miscellaneous notes and a sequence of notebooks, dating from c.1966-1994.

• Series 7: Outsize items 1928-1951, 2 linear ft.

One photograph and two newspapers articles are contained in an outsize box. Processing

When the Burke Library acquired the Franklin papers, an attempt was made to maintain the original order. The collection remains in the arrangement created by the Franklin family, following a broadly chronological outline. Folded materials were flattened. Newspaper clippings were housed in Mylar folders. Staples, rubber bands, and metal clips were removed and replaced with plastic clips or interleaved with acid free paper. All materials were placed in acid-free folders and boxes.
