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.

McGlasson and family, with whom he made his home, also Mr. and Mrs. B.F. Hurdle, James H. White and wife and the Feesburg Choir for their sweet songs, also Mr. Will Meffort the undertaker.
