Charles H. Manwaring, a former resident of Guilford [Chenango Co.

Dr. Charles M. Olmstead, associate pastor and dear friend of the deceased officiating.  The body was laid in the family plot in Sunset Hill cemetery, Guilford.  Left to mourn him are two daughters, Mrs. Jessie Teed and Miss Hazel Manwaring of Unadilla, and several grandchildren.

Manderville and for forty-six years they were travelers along life's pathway.  Three children were born to them, Mrs. Anna Reynolds of Mt. Vision; Howard Hutchinson, of Guilford and Lester Hutchinson of Panama, who survive. Also among those chiefly to be mentioned who survive are a widow, Mrs. E.L.

At two o 'clock Saturday afternoon June 25 the funeral service was held from the home, Rev. W.S. York pastor of the M.E. church officiating.  He spoke most fitting words from the text taken from 1 Corinthians 15-59, "For this Corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality," after which the body was taken to Yaleville and laid in the family plot beside those of kindred to await the dawning of the Great Day.  "Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come."  Our deep sympathy go with the bereaved family.
