H. Manley Struck by No.4 as It Left Station at Woodburn Tuesday Afternoon at 4:00 O'clock. DIED THURSDAY MORNING Highly Respected Citizen of County Apparently Failed to Hear the Approach of Train Until It Was Upon Him. B H. Manley, highly respected pioneer citizen ot Woodburn, was fatally injured when he was struck by passenger train No. 4 in the Woodburn yards Tuesday afternoon of last week. He died Thursday morning without having regained consciousness after the accident. Mr. Manley who was 81 years old and rather hard of hearing was walking east from the Woodburn station between the two tracks. The passenger train was standing at the station. When it started from the depot the doomed man apparently did not hear its noise until the locomotive was close behind him. It would seem then that he heard the round and was startled by it, whirling to the south and while he was not on the track the movement brought him close enough to the engine that the projecting parts struck him, knocking him to the ground and rendering him unconscious. The fireman on the train saw the accident and the train was stopped. Members of the crew carried the injured man to Dr. Bowen's office where an examination showed him to be suffering from a concussion of the brain and other injuries of a less serious nature. The unconscious form of the pioneer was carried to the home where all was done that skilled and loving hands could do to prolong the life, but death came early Thursday morning and relieved his suffering. Obituary follows: Benjamin H. Manley, youngest son of Benjamin and Mary Manley, was born in Jefferson county, Tenn., December 12, 1843, and departed this life at his home in Woodburn Thursday, October 22, 1925, aged 81 years, 10 months and 10 days. He enlisted in the Civil War on the 1st of April, 1863, at the age of twenty years and served as Sergeant of Co. B, 1st Reg. of Light Artillery. He was honorably discharged July 20, 1865. He was united in marriage to Mrs. Elizabeth Vance of Tennessee, in 1867. They moved to Lee county, Iowa, in the fall of 1874, and later to Clarke county. To this union were born eight children, four preceding him in death, namely: Mary Gertrude Manley, Mrs. Nancy Swanson, Mrs. Vesta Perkins and Anna Blanch Manley, also one stepson, Eli Vance. Those living are Samuel B. Manley of Lucas, Joseph R. of Des Moines, Walter M. of Woodburn, and Mrs. Nettie Blake of Osceola. He leaves to mourn their loss a loving wife and companion, five children, ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren, besides a host of other relatives and friends. His life has been a living monument of truth and honesty, having lived a devoted Christian life for the past 46 years, always interested in the welfare of his home, community and his country. Ever ready to help in time of trouble and living for the good he could do humanity.
