Buried Moxie Manuel Here Sunday - Died Friday
Well Known N.E. Mo. Ball Player Had Been in Big League--Home in Pascola
Moxie Manuel, Pascola merchant and former big league ball player, and one of the most widely known ball players in Southeast Missouri, was buried in Oak Ridge cemetery in Kennett Sunday afternoon, following his death in Memphis on Friday night, after being taken there to be operated on for appendicitis, though the operation was never performed as peritonitis had set in. He was 42 years old.
"Moxie," as he was known throughout this section, was born and reared in Tennessee, and when a young man, moved with his father to Charleston, Mo., where he was engaged in playing amateur base ball and it was on the Charleston team that both he and Barney Pelty made showings that attracted attention from both minor and major leagues.
He then went from Charleston to the Southern League, where he played on both the Memphis and New Orleans teams, and in that last mentioned city, he still holds the distance record for a home run drive.
About 1910 he went to Chicago, where he joined the pitching staff of the White Sox, and remained with them three or four years, during which time, although he started and finished few games; he gained a reputation as an all-'round and heady ball player. Leaving the White Sox he came back to Southeast Missouri, where his father, Isadore Manuel, had located and from then until his death Manuel was one of the most enthusiastic ball players and fans in this section.
He played on many of the amateur teams of this section, filling in at any position to which he was called. He knew base ball and was called on to manage and assist in the management of many teams and for one season was manager of the Hickman, Ky., team in the Kitty League. Although more than 42 years old, Moxie never lost interest in the game and even last year, he took part in several games.
The esteem in which he was held was attested by the great number of his friends and admirers from all over this section who accompanied his body to Kennett last Sunday that they might be present at his funeral which was held in the Baptist church in this city.
He is survived by his wife and mother and three boys, ages 16 and 11 years, and 16 months. He is also survived by his sister, whose names we did not get. His father is buried in Oak Ridge cemetery.
