This page is dedicated to a Grandmother I never knew,
Delphia Naomi Manes.
She died when she was 36 years old, and her children
never stopped longing for her.

Seth Manes was born February 6, 1762 in
Bedford County, Virginia.
He married Susan "Patsy" Fields.

George R. Manes was born about 1785
in North Carolina.
He married Malinda Lawson.
George died about 1852 in Searcy County, Arkansas.

Claibourn Lafayette Manes was born
November 20, 1814 in Rhea County, Tennessee.
He married Sarah Sample about 1838 in
Bradley County, Tennessee.
He died November 21, 1884 and they are both buried
in the Whisenhant Cemetery, near Snowball,
Searcy County, Arkansas.

David Howell C. Manes was born January, 1856
in Arkansas.
Dave married Delphia Ann Scott about 1882.
He was my Great Grandfather,
the oldest relative I remember.
In his later years he was known as "Uncle Dave"
to all who knew him. He was regarded with great love and respect.
He died January 13, 1947 and is buried in the
Whisenhant Cemetery, near Snowball, Searcy Co., Arkansas.

Delphia Naomi Manes was born August 1, 1862
in Searcy County, Arkansas.
Oh, what I must of missed not having her around growing up.
Her daughters spoke of her as a wonderful Mother,
so I am sure I would have had a great Grandmother.
She married Charlie Watkins, the only Grandfather I knew!
