In July of 1935, George Manning posed for the Tacoma Times in honor of his upcoming 97th birthday on July 20, 1935. He stands by the rustic gate that he built at his home in Midland. Originally from Springfield Ill., as a child he was a neighbor to one of Illinois' favorite sons, Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Manning fought in the Civil War, prospected in the Rockies and owned a fruit farm on Vashon Island. At 62, he decided to settle down in Midland. (filed with Argentum)
