Franklin M. Gilbert was a teacher and principal before attending medical school at the University of Texas in Galveston. He interned in New York, where he met nurse Dorothy Bald Brandon (1901-1990), who became his wife. The couple returned to Irving, and he practiced medicine with his father, prominent physician Daniel Webster Gilbert. During Dr. Franklin Gilbert's distinguished 59-year career, he also served on the school board, as Mayor and as president of Irving State Bank. The family's medical legacy continued with his two physician sons.
