Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, June 20, 1900 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Elias Manwaring was born in 1814, and died June 14, 1900. He was a son of Samuel Manwaring and Eunice Adams, who came to this place when the country was a wilderness. Their first neighbor were Walter Evarts and Joel Roberts. They then lived on what was later known as the Ephriam Manwaring farm in the Ft. Leizer district, where the subject of this sketch and his twin sister, Eliza, were born. Later they moved onto a farm near the North church, built them a house, and for many years kept a tavern, as it was then called. Elias was converted in a revival which broke out in haying time, under the labors of Elder Bidwell in the Manwaring school house in 1840. He joined the Baptist society and has lived a consistent Christian life. In 1841 he married to Amelia Jenne, and of their five children, three of them grew to womanhood. He was twice married, his second wife being Mrs. Lucina Scott. She died some years ago and in 1891, he came to live with his daughter, Mrs. Nelson Sherman. As he grew feeble with old age the present did not interest him much as the past, but he could always recall the things that occurred in his younger days and liked to tell of the early settlers. He remembered when there were only three houses here besides their own. One of these old land marks is yet standing, the Mrs. John Ripsom house, now owned by L. C. Cole. His father died at age 90, his brother, Van Rensalear at 82, his sister, Louisa Soule at 87, his brother William and sister Betsey Loomis in middle life. His twin sister, Eliza Loomis at 84 and he at 85. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Sherman and Mrs. H. A. Woodruff, both of this place. The funeral was largely attended. Rev. Johnson, of New Haven, officiating.
