Obituary: Miles Woolman
Manning Monitor May 28, 1908
After a lingering illness of about three years, Mr. Miles M. Woolman passed from this life about two o'clock on the morning of Saturday, May 23.
He was born August 5, 1832, at Macomb County, Michigan. When he was 15 years old he moved to Kalamazoo County, Michigan, at which place he was married to Miss Martha Nellis when he was 20 years of age. The next year Mr. and Mrs. Woolman moved to eastern Iowa. Just thirty years ago this month they came to their farm just a few miles from Manning. Their home has been here since.
For many years Mr. Woolman's mother lived with him and eight years ago died in his home at the age of 104 years. He has one brother, Martin Woolman, of Albia, Iowa, and one sister, Mrs. Martha J. Thomas, of Kansas City, who survive him. Mr. and Mrs. Woolman are the parents of four children, one of whom died in 1882 at the age of thirteen. The other three are still living, Mrs. Mills, of Sioux City; Mr. Harry Woolman, of Ames, and Mrs. McCulloch. All of his children and his brother and sister were present at the funeral and we learn that his sister will remain with Mrs. Woolman for some time.
Mr. Woolman was a very kind and helpful man and very indulgent to his family and greatly beloved by them. He was just and honest in his dealings with his fellowmen and a most estimable citizen. He united with the Presbyterian church twelve years ago. During the past few years ill health has kept him from attending its public services, but, amid the quietness and the limitations of his last months, he seemed to appreciate more than ever the privilege of communing with his Master.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Forest A. Heizer at the home at 2:30 o'clock Sunday.
The floral offering was large and beautiful. In spite of the inclement weather a large number of friends were present.
The Odd Fellows, of which Mr. Woolman was a member, attended in a body and conducted the services at the Manning Cemetery.
I.O.O.F. Resolutions. Whereas, The Master of Death passed our sentinel and invaded our chapter and severed a link from our golden chain, summoning from time to eternity Brother M. M. Woolman, one of our beloved members, Resolved, That we acknowledge the wisdom and goodness of our Supreme Grand Master and bow in humble submission; that in token of our sincere friendship and sympathy in the dark hour of this great affliction, and as a pledge of our fidelity to the memory of our brother we extend to his wife and children the fraternal right hand of fellowship, and with it the assurance that the great light of God to man will guide him safely to that spiritual building eternal in the heavens, where his loved one now dwells and where the broken circle shall be reunited, never again to be parted, and where they shall dwell together in peaceful happiness forever and ever. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our chapter and that copies be sent the family of our worthy brother. Committee J.A. CAMPBELL, T.A. GRAY, G.W. LAFLAR.
