Portland Observer, 8 Dec 1921

The death of Manly Cronkrite, aged 80 years, one of Danby township’s oldest 
pioneer residents, occurred Sunday morning.

Mr. Cronkrite had been in poor poor health for some time and for the past 
several months had been compelled to relinquish the management of his farm 
which had been his home for many years.

The late Mr. Cronkrite was born in Danby and served during the Civil war with 
the cavalry.  At the end of that conflict he returned to the place of his birth 
and a short time later went to California where he was engaged in mining.  
Returning to Danby township fifteen years later he was united in marriage to 
Clara Richardson.  From this union two children were born, William, who passed 
away two years and Mrs. Ethel Hill of Danby.

He is also survived by a widow, four sisters and one brother, Mrs. Nancy Gray 
of San Francisco, Mrs. Ella Eevey of Holland, Mrs. Fidelia Horner and Mrs. Mary 
Wooden of Portland and Charles Cronkrite of Sebewa.

Funeral services were held from the residence, Tuesday.  Interment was made in 
the Danby cemetery.
