Mrs. Manning, 1874 Pioneer, Taken By Death
Evangeline Virginia Manning, 84, a resident of Idaho for 78 years, died yesterday morning at 7:30 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Herbert Howe, Cedar Ave., Lewiston Orchards. Death was attributed to the infirmities of age.
Mrs. Manning was born at Ray Springs, Tenn., April 24, 1869, and came to Northern Idaho on June 26, 1874, at the age of 5. She traveled west with her widowed mother, Eliza J. Abernethy, and younger brother, James C. Abernethy, going by rail to San Francisco from Knoxville, Tenn.
They traveled by ocean liner to Portland, by river boat to Wallula and by stage coach to Walla Walla. They left Walla Walla with a wagon train, ferried across the Snake River and came on to Northern Idaho. They made their home with her mother's brother, Jesse Cash, a pioneer schoolteacher at Farmington, Wash.
Fled From Indians
It was while they were living near Farmington that the Nez Perce Indian War of 1877 broke out. When news came that Chief Joseph was on the warpath, Mrs. Manning's uncle took the family with other settlers to the fort at Colfax and later to Spokane, then known as Spokane Falls, which was composed only of a few log cabins and stores.
In 1889 at Post Falls, Mrs. Manning was married to Charles Manning, youngest son of Maj. George A. Manning, a Civil War veteran who settled at Lewiston in 1870. On their honeymoon, they came to Lewiston by stagecoach down the Lewiston Hill grade, which was then a wagon trail coming almost straight down the hillside.
Settled On Homestead
About 1892 they settled on Major Manning's homestead, located on the "flat" in East Lewiston, now the forebay of Potlatch Forests, Inc. They lived there until 1925, when the timber company acquired the land. The Mannings then moved to Lewiston Orchards, where she lived until her death.
Mr. Manning died May 30, 1931.
Besides Mrs. Howe, Mrs. Manning is survived by another daughter, Mrs. Lillaine [as written] Lincoln of Newport, Wash.; two sons, Bert J. Manning of Spokane and Clarence A. Manning of Bremerton, Wash.; nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Manning was a member of the Advent Christian Church.
Funeral services will be held Monday at 2 p.m. at the Vassar-Rawls Chapel with the Rev. Alton J. Crouse officiating. Burial will be at Normal Hill Cemetery.
