Lettie Manly was born in Morgan County, Ind., Jan. 29, 1823 and was married to William Maxwell April 15, 1841 and to this union was born six sons, Jackson, James, Dorsy, John Manley, William Robert, George Washington and Jonathan Thomas. The latter passing away sometime ago. They left Indiana in 1853 and while on their way to Monroe County, Iowa, her husband was taken sick at Bloomington, Ill., and died Sept. 1, 1853, leaving her with a family of six to take care of. She resumed her journey to Monroe County, Iowa and remained here until the spring of 1867, when she moved onto the farm in Page county where she died, living part of her time with John and George, but the latter part of her life with Dorsy, who now owns the home place. When about 35 years old she joined the United Brethren church and remained with them until eighteen years ago when she put her letter into the Christian church. Although she did not attend church as much as she desired on account of her health not being the best she kept the fort and fought a good fight and many times before passing away, wanted to go home and get her reward. She like Grandma Cussins had lived over her allotted time and was only waiting to be called by her Master. She was a good woman and a faithful mother, who reared up five boys into manhood who are all good, honest men, four of them standing by her bedside for four long weeks while her life ebbed away, but at last her spirit took its flight to the One that gave it. The funeral services were held at the Oak Grove church on Saturday at 11 o’clock conducted by Rev. W. L. Dunlavy. After a very touching sermon they took the last farewell look at grandma and she was laid away in the Shearer cemetery. To those that are left to mourn the loss, we extend our deepest sympathy.
