...Frank was a Manchester, IA Rural Mail Carrier
Giles F. Bloodworth passed away at his home on Fayette street early Monday morning, after an illness of several weeks. Some years ago Mr. Bloodworth suffered two attacks of pneumonia, which depleted his physical forces materially, and since then he has been in a delicate state of health most of the time.Mr. Bloodworth was one of the first rural mail carriers when the system was inaugurated in 1901. He has carried mail continuously on Route 5 out of Manchester during all of these years, in fact he was the only one of the original carriers that continued in the service for the seventeen years. He was popular with the patrons on his route and gave them the best of service.Giles F. Bloodworth was born in Nebraska, May 27th, 1859. When he was 5 years old his parents came to Iowa, and located at Elkport, where he grew to young manhood. He was united in marriage with Miss Rachel Baker, at Wood Center, January 6th, 1882. Mr. Bloodworth lived in Clayton county until 1890, when he came to Manchester, which has been his home since.Mr. Bloodworth is survived by his wife, and two daughters, Mrs. C. E. Garlow, of Garber, Iowa; Mrs. E. W. Webster, of Oelwein, and one son Morton Bloodworth, of Dubuque, Iowa.Funeral services were held at the family home this (Wednesday) morning. Following the services the remains were taken to Bethel cemetery, near Osterdock. The services at the grave were conducted by the Rev. Harry Riggs of Colesburg.Mr. Bloodworth's death removes from Manchester a man who was beloved by a large circle of friends. He was of a very companionable nature, and made friends of everyone with whom he came in contact. His passing brings sorrow to many people in Manchester and along the route he served so faithfully for so many years. Sincere sympathy is felt for the wife and children in their hour of sorrow.Manchester Democrat - Manchester, Iowa - October 16, 1918
