The Verden News
May 27, 1932



Thomas Norton Manning was born north of Verden, July 2, 1913, and passed 
away May 19, 1932, west of Verden, at the age of 13 years, 10 months and 
17 days.

He was known among his friends as Teddy and where ever you saw Teddy you 
would see that big, broad, sunny smile. Teddy was a boy that was loved 
by everyone, for he was obedient to his family and faithful to his 
friends.

He had just completed the seventh grade in school and his greatest 
ambition was to grow up and be an educated man.

He had made his home with his Grandpa and Grandma Manning, who live 
north of Verden, since he was four years old, and he was the pride and 
joy of their hearts, for he seemed to take the place of his father who 
had gone on before him.

Teddy leaves to mourn his departure, his step-father and mother, Mr. and 
Mrs. Frank Dodson, his brothers, Bryant and Shy Manning, one sister, 
Dorothy, Grandpa and Grandma Manning, Grandpa and Grandma Talkington, 
and a host of other relatives and friends.
