John Manatt was born in Holmes Co. Ohio, Sept 24, 1840 and died at his home on Thursday evening, October 5th, after a lingering illness of more than one year much of the time suffering intense pain but being very patient in it all.
He came to Iowa with his parents in 1850 and they settled on land near the home place and for 61 years has lived on the same farm. Many changes have come in these years and it is interesting to hear him discuss matters that came under his observation. He was married to Mary Ellen Price on September 29, 1864 and to them eight children were born all living at the time of his death. Frank E. of Laurens; Mrs. Ima Clark, Victor; John R., Brooklyn; Charles W., Carroll; Mrs. Bertha Graves and Mrs. Clara Nelson, Perry; Clyde R. and Jay P., Brooklyn. Aside from his wife and children who mourn his loss, he leaves three brothers and two sisters. Irvin of Providence, Rhodes Island; A.W. Manatt, Brooklyn; Robert of Lansing, Kansas; Mrs. M. E. Martin, Victor; and Mrs. Sarah Mason of Brooklyn. These together with a host of others mourn his passing. Living in the same vicinity for 61 years gives a man a large acquaintance and he was well and favorably known by those who knew him or who had business dealings with him. All united in saying he was a good friend, a kind neighbor and an upright citizen. Living in his house by the side of the road he was "a friend to man." His end came peacefully on Thursday evening surrounded by his family.
