M.B. FREELOVE DEAD.
Mr. M.B. Freelove died very suddenly at his home in this city on Wednesday morning. For a number of years he had been a great and constant sufferer with asthma, and it was this together with other complications that brought about his death.

M.B. was born to Leonard and Mary Freelove in the village of Rutland, Vermont in 1841, fifty-five years ago.

In the fall of 1868, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Gondra, and as a result of this union six children were born unto them, all of whom, except a son who died in youth, survive. They are Floyd, Nettie, and Mamie, at home; Mrs. Cora Dowler, Manilla, and Arthur, a student at Valparaiso, Indiana.

Mr. Freelove, with his wife, came to Carroll County twenty-six years ago, settling down in the town of Arcadia. Twelve years later, the family came to Manning, where they have since resided.

Mr. Freelove, although laboring under a disease which he well knew would sooner or later end his days here upon earth, always appeared to his friends on the bright side of life; always jovial and good-natured. He was kind to his family, and now that he is dead they can only hope for a reunion in another world.

The funeral was held at 2:00 o'clock this afternoon, November 18, 1896, from the late residence, Rev. George W. Wood officiating, and the remains were interred in the cemetery south of town.

I'm occasionally adding the actual scanned image of the obituary I make using my VERY expensive - large commercial scanner, and/or also other articles about the deceased person that were published in the Manning Monitor.
I want to also comment about people who are taking my obituaries, pictures, and/or other articles about a person/family and posting them on other websites.
You do NOT have permission or the right to do this - you are stealing my historical work.
Buy your own scanning equipment, pay for memberships to other commercial websites, and spend decades working on your local history like I have - then you'll understand why I'm making these comments!
Thank you for your attention to this matter - Dave Kusel
