MANES MAINS HODGSON CALLS |
----Source: CLARK COUNTY REPUBLICAN PRESS (Neillsville, Wis.) 05/28/1885
Manes, Edward (1803 - 22 MAY 1885)
Died, on Friday, May 22, 1885, in this city (Neillsville, Clark
County), of apoplexy, Mr. Edward Manes, aged eighty-two years.
Mr. Manes was born in Aramagy, Ireland, and at the age of twelve
years emigrated to Quebec, Canada. He married Jane Hodgson in 1823,
by whom he had six children, four of whom are now living, Edward,
John, Maria and Anna Jane. His first wife died in 1837. In 1840 he
married Mrs. Mary Calls, by whom he had eight children seven of
whom are living, Dudley, William, Jane, Maggie, Joseph, Robert,
Sarah and Mary, the eighth having died about one year ago. Mr.
Manes had been a very rugged, healthy man up to two years ago, when
he received his first paralytic shock. He moved to this city about
three years ago to be near his children who had come here years
before. In Canada he had been one of the most prominent, successful
farmers, honored and respected by all who knew him. Many are the
changes which he has witnessed in the Western world since he first
landed in Quebec. He has seen what was then a wilderness made to
blossom like the rose he has seen the wild children of the forest
give place to a civilized race he has seen a great war fought for
the preservation of a republican form of government and the
shackles struck from the hands of four million slaves and now after
long years of usefulness, and full of honor, he has peacefully laid
down and died.
