The following is a letter that Hiram wrote home to his family after he had enlisted.  The poem was printed on the letter paper he used.

 

        "Soldier's Farewell"

Upon the hill he turned, to take a last fond look,

At the valley, and the village church, and the cottage by the brook.

Beside that cottage porch, a girl was on her knees;

She held aloft a snowy scarf, which fluttered in the breeze;

She breathed a prayer for him - a prayer he could not hear;

But he paused to bless her as she knelt, and wiped away a tear.

Notes for RACHEL J. DAUGHERTY:

When Rachel's husband, Hiram, was killed in the Civil War, she was 40 years old and had seven children, ranging in years from 20 down to 6 years old.  On 1 June 1862, Rachel appeared before a Notary Public in Brown County to apply for a pension.  She swore as to the date of their marriage, and that she remained a widow.  At the same time, Matilda Chapman and Susan Chapman, were deposed to swear they were acquainted with Hiram Manchester and with their family.  They swore that "Rachel has three children living under 14 years of age, namely twins Charles M. & Leander Jackson, aged about 14 years and William L. Manchester, at the time of whose birth we were present and that he was born on or about the 22nd day of September 1856, that they are the only legitimate children of the said parties under sixteen years now living, that they have not now either of them been abandoned by their said Mother, Rachel Manchester, nor has she permitted any one for whom increase of pension is claimed to be adopted by any person or persons but she still maintains and supports all of them, and that said Rachel has not married since the death of her said husband."

 

Papers from the U.S. Pension Agency show that Rachel's pension was approved on 2 April 1863.  A notice from that Agency, dated Columbus, Ohio, February 7, 1896 showed that Rachel's pension, Certificate No. 2-453, last paid at $12 to 4 September 1895 had been dropped because of information from the Postmaster that the Pensioner died 21 October 1895.

Notes for ABEL B. MANCHESTER:

from The History of Brown County, Ohio   -   Page 197

Lewis Township

 

A.B. MANCHESTER, farmer and retired minister, P.O. Higginsport, was born near Providence, R.I. May 23, 1828, and is the son of Elder C.S. and Sophia (Brownell) Manchester.  His paternal grandmother was a Miss Hilliard and a member of the John Rogers famly.  When eight years old, A.B. moved with his father, to Massachusetts, and two years later they came west to Union Township, this county.  The father of our subject was an active and faithful minister in the Christian or New Light Church from early manhood until old age called him from the field of service.  He is now living a retired life in Clermont County, at the age of eighty-two years.  A.B. engaged in agricultural pursuits early in life, and has always followed this calling.  In 1858, he was received into conference and ordained in the Christian Church of Fleming County, Kentucky and from that time until 1864, he preached regularly in Kentucky.  Since then he has filled various pulpits in southern Ohio, until within several years.  A throat disease has affected him for some time and rendered his ministerial labors painful.  At the Southern Ohio Christian Conference, which met at Russellville, October 1880, his name was dropped from the ministers' roll by a rule adopted two years before, that if a minister be unemployed for two years without satisfactory reason his letter of commendation should be withheld.  It happened that Mr. Manchester did not attend the conference in 1878, the first he had missed in sixteen years, and the rule was not recorded.  He remained in entire ignorance of it.  In 1879, he reported his reasons for non-employment to Conference, and received his letter as usual.  In 1880, he was absent, and was astounded at receiving notice that his name was dropped, together with several others, from the roll.  He feels that he has been deeply wronged by the strict enforcement of this rule, if indeed the enforcement of it could reach his case, which is doubted, in his absence and without his knowledge or any opportunity of defense.  He had labored incessantly in the church for many uears, much of the time with little or no compensation.  Politically, he was a Whig until the Know-Nothing party was organized.  He then voted with the Democratic party four years, but, in 1859, became a pronounced Republican.  During the war, his home was in Fleming County, Kentucky and his avowed political sentiments made him an object of hatred to the rebels in that vicinity.  He was one of four men whom the rebels had threatened to kill for their advocacy of the Union cause.  Two of the four, James Evans and William Gardner, fell victims of the assassin's bullet, and two attempts were made upon Mr. Manchester's life, but both were fortunately futile.  He was married, July 22, 1849, to Olletha Muse, daughter of George and Mary Muse of Kentucky.  He had gone to Fleming County, KY, several years prior, and remained there till his removal to his farm in Lewis Township in 1864.  Three children have blessed this marriage - George M., Charles W., and James D.  The last was accidentally killed in 1877, from the effects of injuries received from the kick of a horse.  He died aged twenty-one years, eight months and nine days.  George M. married Mary C. Tatman, and has two children, Olletha Bell and Samuel Alexander.  Charles W. married Lizzie Bolender, and has one child - Gracie Sissela.  Both the boys are farming in this township.

Eulogy for Rev. "Abraham" B. Manchester

 

Rev. A.B. Manchester's funeral services were held in the Christian Union Church at Shinkle's Ridge, Wednesday July 3, 1907 and were very largely attended.  A short service was held at the home of W.C. McGlasson, conducted by Rev. S.L. Swope.

 

The services at the church were conducted by his pastor, Rev. W.A. Warber, assisted by Revs. S.L. Swope and W.H. Dolby.  Internment in Union Cemetery.

 

The following memoir was prepared and read at the church by Rev. Swope:

 

As time speeds on it rapid flight rolling like a mighty ponderous wheel in perpetual revolutions, it turns us around different scenes and brings to us varied duties, and demands of us, to quietly submit.

 

To the inevitable laws both natural and spritual.  Today we aspire, build upon hope.  Tomorrow we see them blighted and out bright prospect gone, today a feast, tomorrow a famine; today we rejoice at a birth, tomorrow to weep at death; today we sing the songs of jubilee, tomorrow we chant the sad requiem at the grave; and how like a passing or floating picture changes before us continually.  Now we laugh, now we cry, now we are indignant, now we pity, now we rejoice, now we are sad.

 

Today my friends as we gather we have only the impressions, the life is gone; we sit in the deep shadow of a once noble, useful and intelligent life.  The form lies before us; the house of clay that was once occupied by the vigorous spirit of Rev. A.B. Manchster, lies silent in our midst, and we are come that our words, songs and presence may honor and respect his memory and be a lasting benediction upon life.

 

Abraham B. Manchester was the son of Elder C.S. and Sophia Brownell Manchester and was born near Providence, R.I. May 23, 1828, died July 1st, 1907, age 79 years, 1 month and 18 days.  When eight years old he moved with his fater to Massachusetts, and two years later they came West to Union Township, Brown County.

 

Early in life he engaged in agricultural pursuits and spent the most of his life upon the farm.  In 1858 he was received into conference and ordained in the Christian Church of Fleming County, KY and from that time until 1864, he preached regularly in Kentucky, since then he has filled various pulpits in southern Ohio, with great credit to himself and honor to his calling.

 

He was married July 22, 1849 to Olletha Muse of Kentucky, who lived with him happily until May 6, 1904, when she closed life's labors and exchanged them for a crown.  To this union was born three sons, George M., Charles W. and James D., two of whom preceded him, leaving only one member of the family, Charles W., the second son, who mourns his loss today.  Beside seven grandchildren and a host of more distant relatives and friends, who remember him kindly.

 

He was an esteemed member of the Southern Ohio Christian Conference, but in the later years of his life owing to throat trouble and age, he preached but little.  But in his active ministry he accomplished many good works and today there are monuments to his memory, that time cannot destroy.

 

He was converted in Kentucky in 1853, and soon received license to exhort and in 1858 was ordained.  At the time of his early, active ministry, ministers received but little compensation, he thus says of himself,  "...while in Kentucky I seen some glorious time and seasons of revival work.  In the six years of my ministry in Kentucky I received less than one hundred dollars.  I preached to one church 24 miles distant for 18 months and received $18.20, to another 14 miles away and received one bushel of dried apples and one dollar in cash for three years preaching, to another 16 miles distant I received $8.50 for one year, to another 10 miles distant I received $30, and at many places I received nothing; yet with all those sacrifices, those were the happiest days of my life.  God blessed my labors and I had food and raimont and was satisfied."

 

In Ohio, Bro. Manchester had charge of ten different churches and received a liberal salary.  At Boat Run or Mt. Zion, for three years and received 132 additions to the church, and at Old Salem, now Pt. Isabel, before his second year was out they had a new house and a number of additions; at Christian Chapel, Pleasant Hill, Fellowship, the Lord blessed his labors abundantly.  While at other places there was not quite so much prosperity yet a number of accessions.  He ably assisted in the dedication of four churches, three of which he was pastor at the time of dedication, and the Southern Ohio Christian Conference today is in deep mourning for the loss of an able counselor, a true devoted member and an earnest Christian brother.

 

Bro. Manchester was an earnest student of the Bible, acquiring with its teachings, loved its precepts and was guided by it council.

Notes for MARY SOPHIA MANCHESTER:

Obituary for Mary Sophia Manchester Swope:

 

"Obituary of Sophia Manchester Swope:  After an illness of several years, the subject of this sketch passed from the known to the unknown at the family home in Georgetown, September 8, 1927.  She was a daughter of Hiram and Rachel Manchester, and was born at Flemingsburg, Kentucky, November 17, 1847.  Early in her life she moved with her parents to Higginsport, Ohio.  She unitedwith the Methodist church when a child and has ever lived a consisten christian life.  She was a charter members of the Dorcas Society of the Georgetown M.E. Church.

 

The deceased was united in marriage with G.W. Swope, November 12, 1871.  To this union were born three children - Wm. E. Swope, Mrs. Maggie Ashley and Hattie Swope - all of whom, together with her husband, survive.  Self-sacrificing in her nature, she loved her home.  Ever mindful of the comfort and welfar of her family, she lived out her life in a manner that will receive the approval of her Maker.

 

It is not too much to say that she personally endeared hereself to hundreds of people of this vicinity, and that the regard in which she was held was based upon the unfeigned kindliness and thoughtfulness that were never absent from her words or actions.  To an unusual degree this good woman exemplified Emerson's diction, that 'the way to have a friend is to be one'.

 

To her legion of friends she was 'Aunt Sophia' and it will be long before the charm and sweetness which characterized the life of Mrs. Swope shall be forgotten by any who had the good fortune to know her even casually.  Her Maker has called her home.  The Messenger has closed her eyes in sleep - to awaken in that land where there is no night, for no mortal is exempt from the call that bids the soul to onward flight.

 

        "Life leaps the grave --

         The sleepers arise --

         Hope never ends --

         A Christian never dies."

 

Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Hench, were held at the family home, Sunday morning, September 10th, at 10 o'clock.  Burial in Confidence Cemetery."

 

                                * * * * * * * *

 

The following poem was written "To the memory of Aunt Sophia Swope.  Her last words were, 'It is a good time to go; I am ready."  The author is WILL TATMAN, the son of Sophia's sister, AMANDA MANCHESTER TATMAN.

 

                                                      TRANSITION

 

                When the Master heard her telling

                        She was ready now to go,

                While the flowers were blooming sweetly,

                        Ere the winds and frosts and snow,

                Then He sent his fairest angel

                        For to bring her home above

                To the land of endless summer

                        E'er to share His Wondrous love.

                Ripe in years, with pain and trouble,

                        Looking toward the Western sky

                Hoping for a quick transition,

                        Not the least afraid to die;

                'Twas a peaceful "going over:,

                        When the Master thought it best,

                As He helped the dear old mother

                        To her sweet and well-earned rest.

                Telling of her many graces,

                        Cheering all the ones that heard,

                Then the dear, white-headed parson

                        Had to say the final word.

                In the tomb they laid the mortal,

                        With a tear in every eye,

                Yet the knew her gentle spirit

                        Reached its home beyond the sky.

Notes for GEORGE WASHINGTON SWOPE:

Notes from Great-Granddaughter, Ann Hunter:

 

George Washington Swope was known to his friends as "Wash" and to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren as Grandpa Wash.  He was a Master Shoemaker.  After his wife, Sophie, died and Aunt Hattie remarried and moved away, Grandpa went to live with our Granny and Grandpa Swope.  He broke his hip and until his death, he walked with one crutch.  Although it was common among people of his day, he was the first person I had ever seen who "saucered" their coffee.  His coffee cup had a large, deep saucer with it.  Grandpa poured some of his coffee into the saucer and would then drink the coffee out of the saucer.  It was probably done in order to make the coffee cool enough to drink.  His mustache would have fared better if he'd used a mustache cup.

Notes for AUGUSTUS TAYLOR DYE:

HIstory of Madison County, Indiana Vol. 2, by John L. Forkner, pages 407 -409

 

"AUGUSTUS T. DYE.    A former county recorder and one of the most popular men in public affairs in Madison county, Mr. Dye has a prominent place in financial circles of Anderson, being assistant secretary and treasurer of the Farmer's Trust Company, of which he was the original organizer.  The Farmer's Trust Company is one of the most substantial organizations of its kind in this section of the state and among its directors are many of the reliable business men and well known citizens of both Anderson and the surrounding country.

 

The career of Augustus T. Dye began in Clermont county, Ohio, where he was born July 27, 1864, belonging to an old family of that state.  His grandfather was James Dye, a pioneer of Ohio.  The father was Francis M. Dye, who was born in Ohio and for many years an attorney.  His death occurred during the year 1866, after four years service in U.S. Army.  He married Miss Amanda Manchester, who was born in Kentucky, a daughter of Hiram Manchester and grand-daughter of Chas. C. Manchester,  who began his career as a minister in his eighteenth year and was widely known among the early settlers of Ohio as a preacher, living to the advanced age of eighty years.  On the mother's side another ancestor, through a collateral branch, was Roger Williams, the noted character of early New England history, who in order to attain freedom of worship, according to his own ideas, left the old Massachusetts colony, and settled in Rhode Island where he gathered about him a small congregation and founded what was known as Providence and Rhode Island plantation.  Mrs. Amanda Dye is still living in Hamersville, Ohio, and was the mother of two children.

 

Augustus T. Dye spent his early boyhood on a farm in Ohio, and attended both the common and high schools in Felicity, Ohio, until completing his education in the high school.  He then returned to the farm and engaged in its various duties until he was twenty-one years of age.  His experience since that time has connected him with the larger phases of business life.  He spent two and a half years as traveling salesman in Ohio, and then came to Anderson, where he followed various lines of employment.  His popularity as a citizen in 1898 resulted in his election to the office of county recorder, and he gave four years of faithful and intelligent service in that capacity.  He was a Republican and had the distiction of being the only candidate on the Republican ticket who was successful in that election.  On the expiration of his term of office as recorder he spent three years in the merchantile business and then with others as his associates, organized the Farmer's Trust Bank.  On the organization of this well known financial enterprise he was made assistant secretary and treasurer and has held those offices ever since.

 

Mr. Dye was first married to Miss Anna Ayres, daughter of William and Nancy Ayres.  The three children born to this union were: Harvey, now an employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, with headquarters in Indianapolis; Lula, graduate of the high school and a teacher of music; and Stella, now a student in the high school in Anderson.  The mother of these children died on April 22, 1899.  Mr. Dye subsequently married Miss Lida Brooks, of Anderson, a daughter of E.A. and Catherine Brooks.  Mrs. Dye before her marriage was for seven years a teacher in the schools of Anderson and is remembered as one of the most efficient and popular in the profession at the time. Mr. Dye has membership in Fellowship Lodge No. 681, A.F. & A.M., Anderson Chapter No. 52 R.A.M., Anderson Commandery No. 32, K.T., Indianapolis Consistory, has attained thirty-two degrees of the Scottish Rite Masonry, and is a member of Murat Temple of the Mystic Shrine in Indianapolis.  His other fraternal affiliations are with the Elks Lodge No. 209 at Anderson.  His residence in Anderson is at 920 West Fifth Street."

 

 

RESEARCHER'S NOTE:  There are several incorrect facts in this article for whatever reason.  First, Augustus T. Dye's father was Wilford Marion Dye.  I have determined that Wilford Marion Dye was still alive in 1867 when he married Catherine Heavner in Pike County, IL, while he was still married to Amanda Manchester.  Amanda divorced Wilford in Brown County, OH in 1869.  Nor have I found any connection with the maternal family to Roger Williams, but they are descended from George Soule of the Mayflower.  Amanda Manchester re-married in 1869 to Francis Marion Tatman and had several more children by him.  It is possible that Harvey Dye, Augustus' son, worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, but I know that he was working as a file hardner at the file works at the time of the 1920 census.  - Frances Dye Minchew  12/5/03
