Additional Comments:
Bill's wife, Eugenia Davis Manning, was born on June 14, 1919, and died July 
6th, 1994. She is buried beside Bill in the Ellaville City Cemetery. 

Bills "service" had to be held at Giddens Funeral Home rather than at 
graveside. It had rained SO hard, we had to wait until the burial site was dry 
enough to "lower" him into the grave. The family waited at the funeral home 
and visited with friends.  

Bill was born August 28, 1910, in Sumter County, Ga. (between Americus and 
Ellaville).  After returning from service with the Navy on a patrol craft in 
the Caribbean area, he moved to Atlanta and became an employee of the U. S. 
Postal Service as a railway mail carrier .  He married Eugenia Pauline Davis 
in Aug., 1947, and they had two children, Emily and Robert.  Bill and his 
family lived in the Atlanta area until his death in May, 1991, at Panama City, 
Fla., while visiting daughter Emily.
