| Transcript of News Article for William Mankin's 77th Birthday The Weekly Sentinel 3 January 1908 |
| Boles, Ark. Dec. 16, 1907 Editor Sentinel: On the 14, Inst. I had the (pleasure of ) being present at a birthday dinner at the home of William Mankins. Bro. Mankin was stricken down some ten days previous with paralysis, and not expecting to live his son John at Wilburton, Oklahoma and daughter Mrs. Mattie Smith at Milltown, Sebastian County were at onec wired, and came at once, but found their dear father much improved, and at this writing is still on the mend. Bro. Mankin's age was 77 years. Mrs. Francis Mankin 74 years. All of their living children were present, viz: William C. Mankin age 46 years, Robert Mankin age 40 years, John Mankin age 38 years, Mattie Smith age 37 years and George Mankin age 35 years. There were 32 grand children and great grand children to the number of fifty-one present. In addition (to) this number were quite a number of other relatives. The ladies had prepared a sumptuous feast, of which all partook, and the children spent their time in youthful sports. Brother William Mankin has resided on this fram for the last 40 years. As a minister of the Free-Will-Babtist church, no man is more widely known and respected than he. He is a Mason and Odd-Fellow at Boles and on Thanksgiving Day delivered a good sermon there. All of his children present were my former pupils, and it was a pleasure to me to strike hands with them. In the afternoon, the grandchildren gathered around grandpa's bed and each on received a portion of candy from his hands. And the last and most sad and impressive scene was the farewell song, sung by Elisha and Rebecca Brown, a neice of Bro. Mankin. Then all repaired to their respective homes. By request Prof. I.F. Pinnick |
