(fifth original newspaper clipping) "Ellen H. Manock Ellen H. Manock was born on the farm of her parents, Amos and Eliza- beth Hovenden near Hubbard, in Mar- ion County, Oregon on August 10, 1868, and was at the time of her death 44 years, 6 months and 4 days. She was married at her home Febru- ary 20, 1888 to Alfred A. Manock of Elmwood, who had come to Oregon two years before. To them were born three children, Carl H. who is a drugist at Dallas, Oregon, Mrs. Ida Birrel of Corvallis, Oregon and Nathan, the youngest son who will graduate this spring from the Corvallis high school. The first two years of their married life were spent working on the home farm. One year at LaFayette and 19 on their own farm near McMinnville, her health not being good, they sold their farm and moved to Corvallis, where their home has been for the last three years. Thinking it would improve their health and spirits they decided to make a visit to his former home, among rela- tives and friends where they were warm- ly greeted by kindred and neighbors. While making a visit at the home of their niece, Mrs. Harlan Nickerson, she was taken violently ill of typhoid fever in consequence of which she passed away in a little over eight days at 8 a. m. April 14, 1913 There seemed no hope from the start but what medical skills, good nursing, and loving hands could do, was done willingly. She came to some of use as a stranger, but to know her was to love her, as her sweet, lovable, disposition was soon apparent. She leaves beside her husband and three children, her aged mother, Mrs. Lizzie Hovenden, three brothers, David, Albert, and Ed- win, six sisters, Sarah, Celia, Thersa, Eda, Effie, and Amy. One brother WIll- ie, died at the age of nine. All the others are now living near Hubbard. To the above tribute, prepared by Mrs. Lee Page, it may be added that what she said in reference to the esteem and affection entertained by so many for Mrs. Manock was borne out by the large attendance and the mani- festly deep feeling at the funeral ser- vices held in teh home of Mr. and Mrs. Harley Nickeson, Wednesday afternoon April 16. Rev. B.Y. George attended to it as a thing unusual and remarkable among the many experinces of his long ministry that such regard should be shown by a large circle of people for one who less than four months be- fore was known to them only by name and report. She arrived with hus- band in Elmwood the day before last Christmas. Whatever fears she may have had about the welcome to be given her byer husband's relatives and old friends were at once dispelled. Her heart responded very happily to the goodwill which they showed, and a goodwill ripening into affectionare re- gard as they saw more and more of her gracious and lovable disposition. So, when she realized that death was near, she did not have the sadness of one dy- ing among strangers, but, was com- forted by the kindness and love, not only of those in whose home she passed away, but of so many others who had come to seem as near to her and as dear as if she had grown up from childhood among them. The knowledge of this will be to her clhil- dren in California a great alleviation of their sorrow. They realized that their good has been the highest aim in life of their parents, who choose the univer sity town of Corvallis as a home be- cause, it gave them the best education- al advantages their state afforded. The way in which these oppurtunties were improved filled the hearts of the par- ents with joy and pride. The children urged them to make this visit for their happiness and health. Along with their father they will, amid their sor- row, be glad that their beloved mother was happy in the friendships she made, and will be deeply grateful as he is for all the lvoing kindness which was showered upon her. She was laid to rest, near to kindred of her husband and herself, mostly those of a former generation, in our beautiful Elmwood cemetery." (sixth original newspaper clipping) |
