Obituary |
Obituary, Galena Times 20 June 1901, p1 c3:
L.H. MANNEN IS DEAD.
Passed Away at His Home This Forenoon
Leslie H. Mannen died at 11 o’clock this forenoon at his home, corner of Sixth street and Galena avenue, of cirrhosis of the liver, after an illness lasting several weeks. He had been expected to die for several days, and the community was in a measure prepared for the announcement that the end had come.
L.H. Mannen was born in Mason county, Kentucky, in December, 1841, and was therefore past 59 years of age. He was raised on a farm and lived there until he came to Galena six or seven years ago. On coming here he engaged in the livery business and owned the barn on Seventh street at the time of his death, as well as his residence property corner Sixth and Galena avenue. He ran for county commissioner in 1898, as the Democratic nominee, being defeated by Hal Peters. Mr. Mannen was an uncompromising Democrat, of the genuine Kentucky kind, and was active in the local ranks until more recent years. He was a faithful friend, a genial associate, a man of honor, integrity and honesty. He was plain and unassuming, a man of strong convictions, a close discerner of right and wrong—quick to commend the one and condemn the other. His friends were numbered by the score and they will deeply feel that loss which his death occasions. As has been the case with countless others, his worst enemy was himself.
Mr. Mannen was proud, but he was modest. When the writer sought material for a biography of him for publication in The Times, when he was a candidate for commissioner, he said “There isn’t much to be said about my life,” and then he added “there isn’t much to be ashamed of, either.”
He was married in 1869 and leaves besides his wife, six children—Hal, John, Ike, Cush, Turn and May. Four of the children are at home, while John and Turn are away—one in Arizona, and the other in Iowa, at points not known by the family.
The funeral will take place Saturday at 10 a.m. and be in charge of the Masonic order, to which the deceased belonged. |

Notes |
- When the War ended he was 23 years old. The Marriage Book at Mason County says that he was 27 when married, and Sallie Pollock was 21; both are listed as from Mason County; Leslie Mannen is described as a farmer; their Bondsman is William H. Pollock, presumable Sallie's older brother; and they are to be married "at the residence of Dr. Isaac Pollock, Mason Co., Ky on 4th day of November 1869." (See "MARRIAGES: Marriage County, KY - Marriage Abstracts 10, 1868-1873" at the Mason Co., Kentucky USGenWeb.) There is also a Leslie Mannen who married a Lucretia Hamilton. The correspondence in names is remarkable, but I don't know what to make of it.
The family is listed in the 1880 census for Germantown, Mason Co.; he was a farmer. His family had been tobacco farmers for decades. Both his parents were born in Kentucky.
On 13 January 1887, a notice appeared in the Daily Evening Bulletin in Maysville that "'Squire Leslie Mannen, of Germanton, has returned from Cincinnati, where he went to consult a physician as to the injury to one of his eyes, caused by a ball from a Roman candle Christmas night. The doctor, who is a prominent oculist, gave him no encouragement. The burn was more severe than it was at first thought to be, and has resulted in the complete loss of sight in the injured eye" (found at http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/). I'm not sure why he is called "'Squire" here?
On 22 Aug. 1887 a notice appeared in the Daily Evening Bulletin in Maysville that "Emma Browning has sold to L.H. Mannen one hundred acres of land on Bracken Creek for $3,500. Part of the land is in Mason and part in Bracken County" (found at http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/).
He moved to Galena, Kansas in about 1895 with his family after the family farm played out or went broke. In 1900 the family appears on the census in Galena, Cherokee Co., Kansas; two of his sons are working in the zinc mines; the other two are clerks; and May is in school. Why did they go to Kansas? There are other Mannens out there, though I see none in Galena itself.
He ran for county commissioner in Galena in 1898; an article with an image appeared in The Galena Times on Fri. 4 Nov 1898, p4, c3.
Family history has it that he was a substantial citizen—well off, and perhaps a member of the state legislature, but that he drank himself to death. That he was at least interested in state office is confirmed by his obituary, which says that he ran for county commissioner while living in Galena, Kansas in 1898. The obituary also confirms he was an alcoholic, mentioning that he died of cirrhosis of the liver; it also cryptically mentiones that "As has been the case with many others, his worst enemy was himself." This was a disease that he seems to have passed on to one or more of his male children.
