IN MEMORIAM
Margaret M. Fowler, born Jan. 13, 1882, was her mother's namesake, and the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Fowler. For many years of her bright, young womanhood she was her mother's home girl, growing, cheerful and skillful in the ways of a homemaker. Education, religion and culture surrounded her, and she unfolded into a gracious womanhood.
She had in addition sufficient experience in outside work that she knew how to meet the public gracefully when she needed. Whatever was best in the life of her hometown she was a part of, it's clubs, it's society, it's girl work for her Sunday school and church.
Incidentally, we note that the date thirteen had some repetition for her, her birthdate, then on February 13th, 1887, she was baptized and now again, February 13th, 1919, the quiet rest of the grave begins for her.
Margaret died February 11th, and she had lived one of the world's most beautiful lives. She had enjoyed and helped others to enjoy, through her happy girlhood, and then February 2nd, 1916, she married Frank E. Manning, thenceforth living the adored wife in a happy home and the mother since July 26, 1917, of a darling boy, so it seemed the world was surely fair before her and many years might have been hers, when a slow, insidious disease began to sap her life away, conquering her at last.
Margaret is claimed by Osceola, where she was born and lived until her parents moved to Des Moines, where they lived for eight years, during most of which her father held the office of secretary of the State Agricultural Society. Then the family returned to Osceola for the rest of her girlhood.
She lies at rest in Chariton, but in Osceola, where her good and pure girl life was mostly spent, memories of her will live warm in the hearts of the generation that knew her. She has escaped all ageing, all the pain and loneliness of old years, and will be young forever in our thoughts. Now she has gone into the Paradise of God to await the coming of her loved ones.
Besides her husband and son, Frank William, Mrs. Manning leaves her father, three sisters and her soldier brother, Phillip, Amy J. Fowler, Mrs. Mary Banta and Mrs. Martha Wick. More than a year ago her mother went before her to another world, where too, the sister, Laura, just older than herself, will meet her.
Margaret (Fowler) Manning was baptized in infancy at the Fowler home in Osceola, Feb. 13, 1887, by Rev. D. C. Franklin. She united with the Methodist church in full membership in the same city in 1894 under the pastorate of Rev. D. J. Shenton.
When the family moved to Des Moines, her membership was transferred to the First Methodist church during the time that Dr. J. L. Sony occupied the pulpit. In 1902 she again became active in the church at Osceola when she returned from Des Moines. On March 26, 1916, when she came to make her home in Chariton, she had her membership transferred to the First Methodist Episcopal church.
During these three years of residence in this city, Mrs. Manning has greatly endeared herself to a large circle of very warm and admiring friends who all unite in expressing sorrow and sympathy.
