OBITUARY

George E. Manchester

George Eston Manchester, the last to survive of the seven children of the late Theodore Gould and Elizabeth Bates Manchester, died suddenly at 7:30 o clock last Thursday evening.

He united with the Westville Baptist church in early life, later transferring his membership to the Schenevus Baptist church. He was a faithful member, having served as deacon and trustee, holding the office of deacon at the time of his death. He was also a member of the Elk Creek Grange.

Funeral services were held Monday at 2 o clock at the house with burial at Schenevus.

Mr. Manchester was born October 20, 1851, in the town of Middlefield. Farming was his occupation, but he had been unable to do much active work for the past several years.

March 18, 1874, he married Helen M. Camp, who died January 1, 1892. Of that union two children survive, a daughter, Mrs. Henry W. Barrett of Cooperstown, and a son, John T. Mahchester of Bainbridge. A nephew, Calvin J, Upham of Hempstead, L.I., whose parents died when he was four years old, for years made his home with Mr. Manchester.

On April 5, 1898, he married Minnie Badeau of Schenevus, who survives, as do also four children; Margaret E. and Frances V. residing at home. Leland B. of Warnersville and Robert D. of Schenevus. Other surviving relatives are three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, several cousins, nephews and nieces.

Mr. Manchester was a man of great moral rectitude, devoted to his family and friends and well thought of by all who knew him.

The Rev. N. B. Feagles of Wingdale assisted by C. L. Buckingham of Schenevus, both former pastors of the Baptist Church here, officiated.
