Odie Richard Manning
December 4, 1893 ~ December 5, 1924


With a heavy heart we drop a tear to the memory of Odie R. Manning, who died at his home here early Friday morning, December 5th. His death has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips of friends and relatives.

His was the heart of gold. He was one of natures nobelmen in its truest sense brave, generous, manly. His was the soul of honor and his friends and friendships were sacred to him.

Odie R. Manning, the subject of this simple memorial was born in Canadian county. At the time of his death [he] was 31 years and one day old. About ten years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Rosa Talkington and to this union was born three sons and one daughter. For a number of years he has conducted a meat market here, selling his business only a few days prior to his death. After assisting in invoicing the stock, he was taken down sick, from which sickness he died.

He was a devoted husband and a kind and indulgent father; to his sisters a tender brother, to his friends the soul of fellowship. But the greatest of all he was a man, and as a man it is that those who knew him best most love to contemplate.

In addition to his heartbroken wife and children, he is survived by a father and mother, five sisters, three brothers and a large circle of relatives and friends.

Funeral services were held at the M. E. church at 10 o'clock a. m. Saturday, the Rev. Graham officiating. Being a member of the I. O. O. F. the members of that noble order officiated at [the] grave, paying him the tribute due all worthy members who pass on.

The floral offerings were many and beautiful.

Thomas Norton "Teddy" Manning
July 2, 1913 ~ May 19, 1932


Thomas Norton Manning was born north of Verden, July 2, 1913, and passed away May 19, 1932, west of Verden, at the age of 13 years, 10 months and 17 days.

He was known among his friends as Teddy and where ever you saw Teddy you would see that big, broad, sunny smile. Teddy was a boy that was loved by everyone, for he was obedient to his family and faithful to his friends.

He had just completed the seventh grade in school and his greatest ambition was to grow up and be an educated man.

He had made his home with his Grandpa and Grandma Manning, who live north of Verden, since he was four years old, and he was the pride and joy of their hearts, for he seemed to take the place of his father who had gone on before him.

Teddy leaves to mourn his departure, his step-father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dodson, his brothers, Bryant and Shy Manning, one sister, Dorothy, Grandpa and Grandma Manning, Grandpa and Grandma Talkington, and a host of other relatives and friends.
