Manes Cemetery, near Richland, Mo. Photo by Pulaski County Obits Manes cemetery was established in 1840 and is near the site of Seth Manes homestead. Seth Manes helped with the burial of Lorena Steward who passed away in 1886. Interestingly, Seth is not buried here. The oldest legible headstone is dated 1873, some 33 years after the cemetery was established. The tombstone belongs to James F. York. James is the son of Seth and his second wife, Nancy York, his former daughter-in-law. Seth is buried in Mayes-Gillispie Cemetery near his first wife, Rebecca “Rebeekey” Evans Manes.

It is true that Seth McCulley Manes married his daughter-in-law just two months after his first wife Rebecca died. It is also true that they had a son named James F., however his last name was Manes, not York.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandmother's brother was named James Fletcher Manes (that is the "F") for my great grandfather was Ralph Manes, son of Benjamin Manes, son of Seth M. Manes. Seth's first wife could have died from complications related to childbirth since Rebecca Manes was born 3 weeks before her mother died.
