The following is a transciption of the obituary of John Manning that I
found on microfilm at the Louisiana Baptist Building in Alexandria,
LA.,  It was filmed from the Everett Baptist Association Minutes either
for 1911 or 1912. I give my permission for this to be put on the Union
Archives also.


    IN MEMORY OF ELD. JOHN MANNING

    Born in Alabama, Feb. 10, 1833. Moved to Union
parish, La., in 1846.  Married July 1, 1857.
    Joined the Missionary Baptist  Church at  Mt.
Olive, in 1859.   Enlisted in the Confederate Army in
1862.   Licensed to preach in 1862, and ordained to the
full work of the ministry in 1882.   Died June 29, 1911.
    He kept the faith.  He fought   the good   fight.
Therefore, there is laid up for him a crown of righteous-
ness.
