"Lena" MANNING. Born 14 Oct 1863 in Cairo, Randolph Co., Missouri. Info from Flame60244@aol.com (Elaine) 11 Dec 1996 Mary L. was known only as "Lena" later in life. Her Father sent her to college in TN, which was rare in those times when educating a female was thought to be a waste of time and money. She taught Latin and Algebra for many years and had married the Rev. J.W. Henderson. They spent their lives "preaching" and "teaching", mostly to the Indians in Arizona and New Mexico. They had 3 sons and 1 daughter. First child was born in Missouri and the rest in Iowa. So they left Missouri between 1890 and 1893, and left Iowa for the southwest in the early 1900's. Date: Friday, August 15, 1997 1:30:52 PM From: Flame60244 Subj: Those MANNINGS in MO again To: JUPEP Hi Linda, Been a long time since we connected, but I read your post in the genealogy forum today and see another link. Darned if I can remember telling you this before--but my latest Manning was Lela (she was b. 1863 in Cairo, MO) who married my Ggrfather, Rev. James W. Henderson. They met and married while attending (both of em) the university of Missouri. He recieved his Bachelor of Divinity in 1890. He was a Presbyterian minister. He did missionary work in NM and AZ with the Indians and she traveled all over the country with him, dragging their 4 kids along. (My redheaded grandfather remembered living on an Indian reservation when he was a kid) I've recently been in contact with the daughter of one of those 4 kids. Will go over the letters again and see if I find more Manning info from them. I also have Lena's death certificate. It states her mother as Martha A.Burton Manning and father as William F. Manning. I have the census' for 1900 and 1920 for James and Lela and kids. The 1900 says Lela's father was born in AL, the 1920 say he's born in IL, and Lela's death certificate says he's born in MO. <throwing hands up in air> Also in 1920 Martha is living with James and Lela, so William is probably deceased. The Presbyteran link is strong here. Am still without that other generation, or William's siblings, or if he was a minister too. Let me know what you've come up with and I'll do the same. Good Luck.
