Notes
a. Note:   From the 1850 Federal census of the City of Monroe, First Ward, Monroe County, Michigan, page 717, taken August 7, 1850; from ancestry.com, image 219 of 367: Alice seems to be listed in household #194, the household of George and Mary Crispin. George is listed as a Machinist and having been born in Pennsylvania. Although I do not have any information on this, it seems likely that George is related to the Ward family in some way or they are perhaps a friend of the family from Pennsylvania. The record for Alice on line #6: Alace Ward; age- 21, female, born- Pennsylvania (The information that was in the Civil War Pension File for Owen lists the date of his marriage to Alice as 1848. This seems to be unlikely since he is listed on the 1850 census as still living with his parents and Alice is living here in the City of Monroe. - RW) =========== From the 1860 Federal Census of Exeter Township, Monroe County, Michigan Page 408; Dwelling 816; Family 815. Alice is living in the household of her husband Owen and children: McMannus, Alice; Age: 31; female; Birthplace: Pennsylvania =========== From the 1870 Federal Census in Monroe County, Michigan, Exeter Township, page 281R, taken July 6, 1870, household #121; from ancestry.com, image 16 of 27. Alice is listed in the household of her parents: McManus, Alice; Age: 40; female; white; Occupation: Keeping House; Born: Pennsylvania; parents or foreign birth ============ From the 1880 Federal Census in Exeter Township, Monroe County, Michigan;, district #177, taken June 23, 1880, page 18B, household # 185; ancestry.com, district #177, image 18 of 37. Alice is listed in the household of her husband and children: ----- Alace; female, age- 50, wife, married, occupation- keeping house, born- Pennsylvania, parents born- Ireland ============ From Vital Records, Monroe County, Michigan by Nancy De Graff Toll Charter, St, Patrick's Parish: "McManus, Alice- -d. May 27, 1899, h. Eugene McManus (Her husband was obviously not named Eugene, but considering that these records were all translated from Latin, it's not hard to see how an error could be made. -RW) ============ From the Monroe Evening News: June 1, 1899 On the 25th of May, 1899, occurred the death of Mrs. Owen McManus, aged 69 years and 9 months. The deceased was born in Pennsylvania and removed with her parents to Exeter township, Monroe County, in the year 1837, at the age of eight years, when the country was an almost unbroken wilderness. On September 20, 1851, she was married to Owen McManus of Exeter. They purchased a farm, worked, toiled, cleared and improved it; and made a comfortable home where she lived until her death. To her were born twelve children- eight sons and four daughters- of which two of the later died in early childhood. There survives her eight sons, two daughters, six grandchildren and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Her illness was a long and painful one which she bore patiently. She was noted for her genial good nature and hospitality, and no wayfarer came that way but received a hearty welcome. The floral offerings from friends in Detroit, Flint and Toledo, were numerous and beautiful. The funeral ceremonies were held May 27th at St. Patrick's church, Rev. Jas. Ronayne officiating. The pall bearers were her six oldest sons. ============= I obtained a copy of Alice's death certificate from the State of Michigan, containing the following information: Name: "Alice McManis" Date of death: "May 25, 1899" Place of death: "County of Monroe, Township of Exeter" Sex: "Female" Race: "White" Marital status: "Married" Age: "69 years, 5 months, 26 days" Occupation: "House Keeping" Birthplace: "Penn." Name of father: "John Warde" Birthplace of father: "Ireland" Maiden name of mother: "Ann Murphy" Birthplace of Mother: "Ireland" Informant name: "John McManus" (John was the oldest son of Alice.) Address: "Carleton, Mich." Disease Causing Death: "Cancer of the Liver" Immediate cause of death: "Acites" Contributory causes of complications: "Dropsy" Place of Burial: "Stoney Creek Cemetery" ============ Alice is buried with her husband Owen in the "middle" cemetery at St. Patrick's Cemetery, in Carleton, Michigan. The following is the inscription on the tombstone: McManus Alice wife of O.McManus Died May 26, 1899 Aged 70 years
