The Otsego Farmer
Friday, January 8, 1892
OBITUARY
Helen, wife of Geo. Manchester, died New Year's morning, after about four weeks of intense suffering from a violent attack of grip, ending in pneumonia. She was 36 years old, had been married 18 years, and about 18 years a member of the Baptist church. She was the only child of Lot. H. Kemp and was left motherless at two weeks of age, but under the loving care of a step mother, (who survives her,) she appeared in school in her home district, where we first learned her by her ever perfect deportment, which continued as the years rolled by as she appeared in the capacity of teacher in the common schools and Sabbath schools, as well as every other path way in which she entered. She retained every friend and gained others day by day. Uniting with the church she endeared herself to pastor and people there and proved a sincere, devout and constant Christian. She, too, became a mother to the motherless, and took to her heart an orphan and reared it as her own, with her own. She leaves two children, a son and daughter, and the adopted, Calvin Uphan, and a husband stricken with grief.
Some say she was untimely cut down,
By faith we see her early promotion,
passing proudly every test;
In shining apparel and jeweled crown.
Home with her Savior, safe with the blest.
