From Commemorative Biographical Record of the Counties of Rock, Green, Grant, Iowa and Lafayette Wisconsin, publ. 1901 - page 958-959MRS. SARAH MANCHESTER holds an assured position among the venerable citizens of Green county, where she is highly regarded as one of the oldest settlers of this part of the State. There are few now living, whose memories of pioneer times are more vivid, or more prolonged into the early days than those of this venerable lady, whose years are far beyond the Psalmist's limit.Mrs. MANCHESTER was born in Pickaway county, Ohio, March 16, 1816, daughter of Isaac and Catherine ‎(PATTERSON)‎ KLINE, early settlers of that State. She was one of a family of eight children, of whom but two now survive, Mrs. MANCHESTER and her sister Mary, Mrs. CLEMMENS, who lives in Kansas. Our subject's brother and sisters were named John, Eli, James, Catherine, Mary, Jane and Pollie. Sarah KLINE first married Samuel MYERS, who was born June 15, 1807, in Pennsylvania, of Dutch descent. While his parents were moving into Ohio from Pennsylvania his father died on the way, and his mother came into the State with him alone. He married Sarah KLINE Nov. 17, 1831, and they became the parents of ten children: ‎(1)‎ Isaac, born Sept. 1, 1832, married Miss Elizabeth SMITH, of Illinois, and moved to Wisconsin, where he died July 27, 1895. ‎(2)‎ George, born Feb. 16, 1836, died Dec. 27, 1882. ‎(3)‎ John, born March 22, 1839, was the first white child born in the town of Spring Grove, Green Co., Wis. ‎(4)‎ Eli, born Sept. 29, 1841, resides in Fayette county, Iowa. ‎(5)‎ Jane, born March 8, 1844, is the widow of Franklin BARNUM, whose sketch is found elsewhere. ‎(6)‎ William, born May 10, 1846, died Nov. 10, 1869. ‎(7)‎ James, born May 20, 1848, is a resident of Story county, Iowa. ‎(8)‎ Miles, born Oct. 15, 1851, is a farmer in the town of Jefferson. ‎(9)‎ Samuel, born April 28, 1854, is a farmer in the town of Spring Grove. ‎(10)‎ Frank, born April 13, 1857, is a farmer in the town of Jefferson. Samuel MYERS died May 2, 1863. He was a resident of the town of Spring Grove for a number of years. Mrs. MYERS remained a widow for over twenty years, and was married in 1884 to Alexander G. MANCHESTER, a carpenter in the town of Spring Grove, who died in 1896. Of Mrs. MANCHESTER's thirty-three grandchildren, twenty-four are living, and she has nineteen great-grandchildren.Mrs. MANCHESTER came to the Northwest when it was a wilderness peopled with wild beasts and wilder Indians. In company with her father and husband she came to Wisconsin in 1837, and they made their home on a tract of land, part of which now constitutes the site of the village of Oakley. Mrs. MANCHESTER is the owner of a considerable portion of the real estate on which the village has been built. The house in which they lived during their first summer in Wisconsin was made of logs, roofed with clapboards, and lacking both a chimney and a floor. A fire would be built in the corner and over it Mrs. MANCHESTER cooked the scanty food on which they lived through the summer - mostly mashed corn, and what wild game they could kill. When they settled here, Chicago was a lake of mud and ice, and the nearest railroad was east of the Allegheny mountains. There were no habitations between their home and the site of the present city of Monroe.Mrs. MANCHSTER, after passing through the various hardships and trials of pioneer life, is still hale and hearty at the age of eighty-five years, and lives on the farm where she and her first husband, Samuel MYERS, settled sixty-three years ago. She is a lady of the most estimable character, and commands the unmeasured esteem of the community
