OBITUARY 

By the death of L. F. Manning at the age of 76 years, on the 2d of February, 
1889, the County of Jackson loses an excellent citizen, the village of Andrew 
an upright, enterprising man, and the United Presbyterian Church a faithful 
member. 

Over 35 years ago he came to this state. Reared in New York, he manifested the 
sturdy traits of that once Puritan land. Beginning life without other capital 
than two willing hands, thrift, energy, integrity and mental vigor, he needed 
no other. Three times at the foot of the ladder financially,-twice through 
aiding others by endorsement, he ascended it again successfully. Mr. Manning 
was a man of few words, but of very decided convictions. He was kind and 
obliging to to everyone. Every good enterprise he ably forwarded. He despised 
meaness and said so. Although of charitable disposition no evildoer found 
shelter, nor lawbreaker gained entemperment from him. Of a sunny, hopeful 
temperment, he is greatly missed by those of all ages, and in all reputable 
gatherings. The wife, daughter, sons and friends deeply feel the loss of a 
sympathetic companion and kind helper, but cheered by thought of eternal gain, 
they seek to emulate his example and not mourning with bitter, hopeless 
sorrow. "Behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace."
