Notes
a. Note:   Buried in Manning Cementary #1. I (Barbara Jane Whittaker) remember going to my great-grandfather funeral, I was about 12 years old and it was about the time of my birthday. My Grandma Whittaker said, that he(Zackarah) always wanted to live long enough to see the twins, Christine and Alean (his granddaughters) reached their sixteenth birthday. He was a farmer and played Bass drum. Zack Manning and his wife, Bell, along with Dollie, Maude, Grace and Virgle (these were the children, and Virgle was six years old) moved from Sedgwick to Oney, Illinois in a covered wagon. The trip took three weeks. They took only clothing and feed for the horses. They would stay in abandoned homes or sleep in the wagon on the way there. They stayed in Olney for three years and worked at hauling brick. When that job ended, he sold his team of horses and the family went to St. Louis, Missouri by train. This came about because Ellick Roberts, Husband of Tennie Rye (sister of Bell) worked as a depot agent, and he arranged for them to ride free. In St. Louis, Zack went to work in a steel factory and held the job for two years. I have a note from Betty Sue Herzog, said Zack Manning was borned June 06, 1868 in Indiana. On the 1920 census records of Lawrence County Arkansas. there is a Richard Roberts living with Zack and Belle, Richard is listed a a boarder age 16 born in Arkansas, father born in Unknown, that was marked through and some initial written in, can not read. Mother was listed as born in Kentucky. I had a Kentucky as place of birth for Zack Manning, but the 1920 census of Lawrence County Arkansas has place of birth as Indiana.
