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.

OBITUARY – A. W. MANATT LATE OF BROOKLYN
Albert Wade Manatt was born on the Manatt farm, four miles east of Brooklyn, March 9, 1860 and passed away at 4 o'clock Monday morning January 9, 1950 at Kingsville, Texas where he had gone about a month ago to visit his daughter, Mrs. Arthur Graff and family.Mr. Manatt was one of a family of nine children born to Robert and Jemima Gwin Manatt. His father met his death through an accident when Albert was but a small child. He, with his mother and other members of the family remained on the farm which his pioneer parents had purchased from the government in 1848 and which still remains in the Manatt name.
He attended the rural school known as Hazel Green located at Carnforth.
On September 9, 1884 he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Rowland of Victor at the Rowland farm home north of town. Their early married life was spent on the Manatt farm with the exception of one year spent at Laurens. To this union four children were born, Bertha, Beulah, Rowland and Eloida.For about 60 years Mr. Manatt made his home in Brooklyn, the past 20 years with his daughter, Mrs. Gordon Cronk and family, where he received very good care. In June of this year he moved with them to Indianola, Iowa.
Mr. Manatt's eyesight began failing several years ago and along with this his health also failed. He was totally blind for the past several years but his fortitude and courage never wavered and he made every effort to wait on himself. On account of his condition, his friends were always doubly welcome on their visits to him.
Mr. Manatt was an honest man and a good citizen, a kind husband and father and a good neighbor and friend. For many years he was a member of the Methodist church at Brooklyn. During his nearly 90 years of life, he was a farmer, a land and property owner and stock buyer, and was well and favorably known throughout the surrounding community.
He was preceded in death by his parents, eight brothers and sisters, his wife who passed away in 1934 and one daughter, Mrs. Beulah Breneman, who with her infant daughter passed away in September 1910. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Bertha Graff of Kingsville, Texas, and Mrs. Eloida Cronk of Indianola, Iowa, one son, Rowland R. Manatt of Houston, Texas and the following grandchildren, Rodney Breniman of Kingsville, Texas, Joan, Keith and Suzanne Manatt of Houston, Texas, Janice and Carole Cronk of Indianola, besides numerous other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at two o'clock Saturday afternoon at the Methodist church in Brooklyn, with the Rev. M. O. McKenzie officiating. Organ music was furnished by Mrs. Coe Manatt. Burial was in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery.
Among those from Victor who attended the funeral were the following relatives; J. R. Manatt, Mrs. C. J. Raffenspuerger, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Schlesselman, and Gene and Mrs. Clyde Manatt.From the Victor Paper, Jan 19, 1950
