Benjamin Franklin Manning 

Benjamin F. Manning was born near Hagerstown, MD, July 1, 1824 and died 
Feb. 17, 1905, being in his 81st year. When a small boy he moved to Ohio 
with his father and sisters. He came to Pennsylvania in 1840. Here he 
learned the mill wright trade, which trade he followed for fifty years. 

He married Miss Therrissa Smith, daughter of Samuel and Bythia Smith, of 
Pursley Creek this county. To them were born several sons and two 
daughters. A son and daughter dying in infancy. The remaining sons and 
daughters are J. N., W. P., William and Elizabeth of Waynesburg; Cephas of 
Oak Forest; James of Fairmont, W. Va; and B. F. of Old Frame, Fayette 
county. Mr. Manning joined church in early manhood, but his religious 
experience as a true follower of Christ began about ten years ago when 
there came to him a clear and unmistakable evidence that he was indeed a 
redeemed soul, born anew in the kingdom of God. During his illness 
he often expressed a desire to meet his Savior and wondered why He so 
long delayed his coming, and when the summons came, he passed peacefully 
away to dwell forever with his Lord. His remains were taken to the Pursley 
creek church on Sabbath morning, where appropriate services were held, 
conducted by his pastor, Rev. Taylor, of Waynesburg. Here a company 
of his former neighbors and friends were assembled to pay the last 
tribute of respect to the departed, and their solumn demeanor as they 
gazed on the face of him they had known for many years showed how much 
he had been esteemed by them. One friend was heard to remark, I have known 
Ben Manning for about sixty years, and have only known him as an honest 
man and a man who never said any harm of any one. What better could be 
said of any man. His five sons and grandson were the pall bearers. 

His body was laid to rest beside that of wife, who preceded him to the 
spirit land some years ago.

James Brenton McClelland Manning 

OBITUARY Gary Post-Tribune January 19, 1952

James B. Manning, 87, a resident of Gary Indiana since 1924, died last 
night in Methodist hospital following a long illness. He had been in
 the hospital since early December. 

Born in Oak Forest, PA, in 1864, Manning was the son of Benjamin & Therissa
 Smith Manning of PA. Manning had been retired because of health since 
moving to Gary from Fairmont, W. Va., in 1927 to make his home with two 
daughters, Mrs. S. M. Stucker of Gary and Mrs. W. D. Smallwood of Hobart. 
Another daughter also survives, Mrs. F. D. Morrow of Louisville, Ky., in

Therissa Smith Manning 

Mr. Editor:--By some means the notice of the death of Mrs. B. F. Manning, 
Oak Forest, Pa, which occurred on March 6, 1894, has never been published 
and I, as a friend, will write the following article for publication, 
which you will please give room in your paper. 

The subject of this notice was the wife of B. F. Manning, a millright, 
with whom the people of Greene county are generally well acquainted, 
and a daughter of Samuel Smith a shoemaker of this neighborhood who died 
a number of years ago. She was aged about 60 years and the mother I 
believe of nine or ten children, seven of whom are living. She has lived 
. . . in this neighborhood . . 45 years and has led a virtuous life. 

She has been the victim of some very distressing afflictions, one of 
them being by an explosion of a can of lamp oil near forty years ago, 
which took fire from which she was fearfully burned about the face and 
breast, which came near causing her death and from which she was marred 
and disfigured for life and also from which her general health was so 
impaired that she remained to a great extent an invalid all her life; 
and notwithstanding all this, she has struggled and toiled in connection 
with her husband through all these many years and succeeded in rearing a 
respectable family of industrious and well-to-do children, who during 
her many years of affliction never ceased to give her the most kind and 
affectionate attention until the last. She leaves many relatives and 
friends to mourn . . .

Obituary of Nellie McGlumphy

Death has entered the home of Sylvester and C. J. McGlumphy, of Nineveh, 
Greene county, Pa. and claimed the sweet form of little Nellie, aged 3 
years, 5 months and 19 days, departing this life Dec. 11, 1892, of croup. 
Her suffering was intense. Funeral services were conducted at the home 
of parents by Rev. Moore. The remains were to rest in the Hopewell 
burying grounds.

Behold the western evening light,

It melts in deeping gloom;

So calmly Nellie sinks away,

Descending to the tomb.

Pale and cold we saw her lying

In the casket, once so dear;

And the mourners bitter sighing

Falls unheeded on thine ear.

She was so fair with golden hair,

Her cheeks like roses bloomed,

Her eyes were like the deep blue sky;

And God so called her home.

We'll miss her little prattling form

We all did love so well;

She was a gem on earth for us,

But now in heaven she dwells.
