of Dewitt, AR
July 24, 1930 - November 9, 2020
I was born July 24, 1930 to Celey Manchester who later died in 1933. Upon the death of my mother, I was adapted by my grandparents, George H. and Levena Manchester.
I went to school in Crawfordsville, Arkansas and graduated in 1941. It was there that I met my high school sweetheart Alice Felker. We later married in 1951 and had two children, Doug Jr. and Nancy Kit. Alice passed away in 1988 and Nancy in 2016.
I was drafted in 1952 for the Korean War and was honored to serve 9 months in Korea for my country.

Doug,
I enjoyed being your Sunday school teacher for the last several years that you
lived in Earle. I enjoyed as well the many times we mowed the church yard together and the 5-10 minute chats we always had afterwards sitting on the
lawnmowers under our favorite shade tree. As a former Marine Lieutenant I
especially enjoyed sharing your experiences in Korea as well as mine in Vietnam.
Semper Fi my friend.

Doug was one of the strongest men of faith I’ve had privilege to know. From his stories of Korea to trodding through Gumbo, he knew the Lord was with him every step of the way.
