John Manlove died at his residence in Clay township, Hamilton county, Indiana, on the 3d day of August (1891). His disease was an affection of the heart and bowels. He was born in Clinton county, Ohio, in the year 1813. His father, whose name George, moved to Fayette county, Ind. when the subject of this sketch was an infant. In the year 1835, he was married to Margaret Symons who died January 4, 1876. In the year 1844 he moved with his family to Hamilton county, where he lived on his farm the remainder of his life. John was the eldest of a family of eight children, three of whom survive him. His brothers, David and George W. and his sister, Mrs Dickey, of Tipton county, together with all his children liveing have been at his bedside during his last illness. Three of his daughters and two of his sons have gone on before and there is still living, Wm. Manlove, of Missouri, Caroline Mason and Margaret E. Hunt, of Iowa, Viena M. Graves, of Wilkinson, Ind., Lydia Henley, ! Geo. W Manlove and Melissa Manlove, of Clay township, Ind. In the year 1832, his father went to Cincinnati, on business where he took cholera, which was raging in that city. Word of his illness was received at their home, when John with another son started to their father's assistance, but arrived to learn that he was dead and buried. After this the care of the family rested largely upon him, and he was loved by his brothers and sisters as brother and father. Mr. Manlove was possessed of a fine mind and a cheerful disposition but he was more especially esteemed for his kindness of heart. He was a kind husband and father, and a congenial companion: and so, after a useful and a happy life, radiant with much beauty, surrounded by his family and a vast number of admiring and loving friends, the last spark of life went out. The pillow of death was softened by the christian's hope of immortality. (From a Mr Carrol paper)
