Appointed as a delegate to the 1860 political convention at which Andrew Gregg Curtin was nominated to be his party's candidate for governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,[4] Bound was also a delegate to the post-war Republican National Convention in Chicago, Illinois in 1868.[5]
Bound also subsequently studied law, and graduated from the Easton Law School in Easton, Pennsylvania.[8] Admitted to the bar in 1853, he then opened a private law practice in Milton.[9]
Married to Emma E. Bound (1849–1917), he and his wife were the parents of Nellie (Bound) Davis (1886–1967).[15] They resided at 139 South Front Street in Milton, Pennsylvania.[16]
After purchasing the Miltonian newspaper in 1867, Franklin Bound served as that publication's editor for two years.[17][18]
Elected as a Republican to the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth sessions of the United States Congress, Bound was also chosen to serve as a delegate to the 1868 Republican National Convention,[19] but was not a candidate for renomination in 1888, opting instead to resume his legal career, which he continued until his retirement at the turn of the century.[20][21]
A longtime member of the Free and Accepted Masons who had served as master of the Milton Lodge in 1855, Bound remained active with the F. & A.M. for many years.[22]
Illness, death and interment
Ailing for roughly a decade during the opening years of the 20th century, Bound died[23] at his home in Milton on the morning of August 8, 1910.[24] Following funeral services, he was buried at the Milton Cemetery in Milton, Pennsylvania.[25][26][27]
