From his obituary in the Morganton, NC News Herald, 28 May 1903:
"Mr. Manuel Hennessee, a well known citizen of Silver Creek township, died last Friday at the home of his son, Joseph Hennessee, at the ripe age of 77 years, and was buried at Gilboa church on Saturday at 3 p.m.
Mr. Hennessee was a brave Confederate soldier. At the battle of the Wilderness in 1863 he was shot through the head and was carried from the battle field apparently fatally wounded. That he lived so many years afterwards is nothing short of a miracle. However, the wound left him partially deaf and dumb the balance of his life.
Among the deceased's surviving children are Mr. M. N. Hennessee and Dr. E. A. Hennessee of Glen Alpine and Mrs. Horace Kincaid of Silver Creek township. There are, we believe, a couple of sons in the U, S, army. Deceased's wife has been dead a number of years."
