Morning Sun News Herald April 17, 1913
Manasseh Edwards, resident of Burlington for years, was found dead in a corn field
south of Burlington. He 
had wandered away from his home Tuesday afternoon and after a search by relatives
his dead body was 
found. He had been downtown Tuesday afternoon and was put on a car for home. Failing
to alight at the 
proper corner he became confused and wandered away from the city and in the darkness
and rain Tuesday 
night, exhausted and chilled, he fell to the ground in a field and perished.
The funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Edwards was born in Wales
in 1939 and came to 
this country with his parents as a child. The family lived in Morning Sun for many
years, but Manasseh and 
family had moved to Burlington in 1881.
The deceased was respected by all. He is survived by his wife Orra, his children: 
J.L. Edwards, Lucretia 
Edwards, and Nannie Edwards; and by his 3 sisters:  Mrs. Joseph Boltz, Mrs. J. K.
Brown both of Morning 
Sun, and Mrs. D. R. Jones of Columbus City.
