Cr Franklin was chosen in May 1993 to represent Division Six following the tragic death of her husband John, who had represented the division for more than a decade. She was appointed to the Engineering Services Committee and as a delegate to the Gold Coast and Albert Area Sport and Recreation Committee. Merna made history by being the Albert Shire's first woman councillor. She did not stand for re-election at the March 1997 election. -- Local Studies Newspaper Clippings file, Franklin, Cr. Merna
