The following was a newspaper item about the death of Gilley Kelly
Manning "Gillie Flora Kellie was born April 23, 1883, professed faith
in Christ and joined the Methodist Church at South Pleasant Grove,
Calloway County, Kentucky, in the year 1894. Was married to Ira
Manning December 24, 1902, died December 12, 1908, age 25 years, 7
months, 19 days. Mrs. Manning leaves a husband, two little girls,
father, mother, and many friends but our loss is her eternal gain.
This noble young mother was a member of one of the best families of
the county. I have known her father, grandfather, and great
grandfather, all good people. Oh, that this lady's words were written
with an iron pen and lead in a rock forever. She knew her re- deemer
liveth and testified to this old time religion from the time of her
profession until death claimed her as a jewel too good for earth, and
took her to the saints fatherland. The writer married her and preached
her funeral. Burial at the Manning Cemetary. J. T. Enoch"
