Mabel Emma Manning was born to Elvin Alexis Manning (1849 - 1938) and Jessie Emma Sheldon (1862 - 1921). In about 1900, Mabel married Ray Lee Rowland, who became locally known through his work as a music teacher. They were the parents of two sons, Kenton and Daniel.
Mabel is thought to be the person standing, upper left, in the photo of our "Ohio Girls." Although we did not have the identities for this photograph for the longest time, we have since positively identified 8 of the 10 women. My father's cousin, Roberta "Bobbie" (Mains) Whitbeck (1916 - 2004) was found living in Battle Creek in 1999, and she identified herself (front, holding puppy) and her mother Edith (Sheldon) Mains, standing center with dark sweater.
Bobbie remembered having taken a trip with her mother to visit cousins in Wellington, Ohio, in the early 1920's, when this photograph was taken.
Mabel's Sheldon-cousin Cassie Howk married Ray's brother Ralph Rowland. She is standing second from the right. Cassie's daughter Eva Rowland is seated second from the left. Both Mabel's and Cassie's families lived in Wellington at that time.
Standing second from the left is Luella (Crane) Hellman Sheldon, who married Charles Sheldon, uncle to Mabel and Cassie. Her daughter Mazie Hellman is center, in front of Edith, and is a daughter from Luella's previous marriage to Walter Hellman, who died from Typhoid Fever.
Thought to be Ruth (Rowland) Miller (also see headstone photograph), half-sister to brothers Ray and Ralph, is seated left. Lucia Manning, Mabel's younger sister is possibly either standing or seated, right. Efforts continue to otherwise positively identify those who are unknown.
Sometime after Ray Rowland died of a heart attack in 1935, she moved with family living in Midland, Michigan. On January 12, 1947, in the very early hour of the day, Mabel's life was tragically shortened when the flight she was taking from Detroit to Miami crashed near Galax, Virginia located in the south-western area of the state.
She was flying to meet cousin Sheldon Rowland (Cassie's son) and family in Florida for the remainder of the winter. Due to storms and pilot error, the Eastern Airlines Douglas DC-3 sheered trees on a hill overlooking a cemetery and then crashed into a nearby creek bed. Out of 19, only one person survived the crash. After her identity was made by family members who quickly traveled to Virginia, Mabel was interred in the Greenwood Cemetery, Wellington, Lorain County, Ohio, next to her husband on January 17th.
Mabel is a descendant of Samuel Manning, who built the house known as the Manning Manse in 1696. This home is still standing today in North Billerica, Massachusetts.
