Sweetheart – Just finished writing to Joe. Had a letter from him this morning, and also a very super swell letter from you. Golly, but it was wonderful. Its swell out today – but I have’nt been out yet. Im not even dressed – a-hem! Did’nt get up until 10:30 this morning – just in time to see the mail-man and collect my letters. Had my breakfast and played around with some clay the kids have. I read for a while – and then decided to write to Joeie. Im awfully lonesome Ned. Gee, but I wish you were here. What did you say was going to happen when you get me alone? Um-m I wonder? Oh I can handle you Manley. I love you Dearest – oh golly and how I do. Your wonderful – and you belong to me. For the past few days Ive been a nervous wreck. Every time the phone rings I jump – can’t help it. Oh I do hope you can come home soon Ned. I want so very much to see you. want to be held in your arms again – and just be near you. Your Mother said she’d phone me as soon as she heard anything from you. (over) [Page 2] 2 O.K you ask for it Ned Manley – we’ll have our “28”. I guess your gon-na be boss anyway – so I might as well start letting you have your way now. Im going to close now Sweetheart. Im gon-na get dressed – and run a few [text strikethrough] [?] please errands for Mom. Take good care of yourself, for me.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Just thinking of it makes me so happy I just want to cry. Its so lonesome here without you Ned. Ive never missed anyone before in all my life as I miss you. I want you here with me so very much. Your my last thought at night and my first in the morning. I just think of how much I love love you, how much you mean to me, how wonderful and sweet you are, and how very very wonderful its going to be taking care of you “Someday” – and I feel so happy all over. I know we’re [Page 2] 2 going to be together soon Dearest, because we belong together always. It s a beautiful day. Nice and warm and bright out. I feel like taking a real long walk today with you. I woke up at 8:30 this morning and could’nt get back to sleep. So I got up and went down and made breakfast. Got Sheiley, ready for Sunday School – and then did the dishes. I cleaned out all my draws again. Amazing how they get so messed up. Had a real fight with my dear Aunt this morning. All I got out of it was a nice long scratch on my arm – but you should see her. She slapped me [Page 3] 3 in the face for hitting Chuck, [text strikethrough] where he needed it most – so I flew into her. Now I suppose we won’t be speaking for another couple weeks – which suits me just fine. Norma, called me this morning to make sure Im going with her this afternoon. I have to leave here in about [text strikethrough] 1 ½ hours. Her brother Jack, is picking me up – then we’ll meet Norma – and he’s driving us out to Eucild Beach. I love you Ned Manley, more than anything else in this whole wide world. Yours so sweet and wonderful, and your all mine. I love you so. �Im going to marry you “Someday” even if Pop, has to use his shot gun. [Page 4] 4 I’ll try very hard to make you happy Sweetheart, as you deserve to be. I’ll always be loving you, and doing my best to keep you loving me. We’ll have 50 brats – if it’ll make you happy Ned. I love you – oh so very much. Please always love me Darling, and don’t ever leave me. I could’nt ever be happy without you. I could’nt stand seeing you married to someone else – unless it would make you happier. I guess Im just talking [text strikethrough] crazy now are’nt I? For I know you’ll never leave me. I’ll always belong to you exclusively. I’ll always be Edward Arthur Manleys, Sweetheart – always. [Page 5] 5 “Someday” of course I’ll also be his wife. I have your picture here before me just as always. I only wish it were you. So I could kiss you. I miss those [text strikethrough] kiss’s Ned, so hurry home to me. Im going to close now – but just until tonight. I want to be ready when Jack, gets here. Im not even dressed yet – a-hem!

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Sweetheart – Just called my Mom, she said I had two letters from you. Now I can’t wait until I get home – because you promised to send a lock of your hair, and it should be in one of the letters. Oh Ned, I love you so. It’s nice out today – but quite windy. Ive got the sniffles, and all I can do is sneeze. Little Johnny is outside playing. His friends get rough at times – and he’ll come running up to me crying. He’s no angel himself. I love you Ned, more than anything in his world. Its awfully lonesome for me since you’ve gone away. I wish so that you could be home with me. “Someday” you will be – for always. I know you’ll never leave me again, cause I won’t ever let you go. I want to be Mrs. Manley, someday. I want to take care of you Ned. I love you very much. More than you’ll ever know. Your so very wonderful – and so darn sweet. Im going to close now until later. I want to start dinner—their having company tonight. I’ll be loving you Always, Jeannie � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Sweetheart – We have a anniversary coming up the first of next week. Just think – we’ve known each other for almost 21 months – seems much longer really. Its been wonderful Ned, cause Ive had you. I went to a movie tonight with a girl I use to play with when I was about six years old. Met her again just recently. We saw “I’ll Remember April”. It was alright – but would have been a lot better of you had been sitting beside me, holding my hand in yours. I miss you so much Darling. Im so very lonely without you. I want to hold you and kiss you again and tell you how very much I love you. Im lost without you Ned Manley, but I know you’ll be back with me soon. Just finished talking to Norma on the phone. She insists I go to Eucild Beach with her Sunday. Amagine that shrimp telling me what to do? I may go with her though, cause its fun being with her – shes really swell. Dad, just got home a while ago. He talked me into eating a piece of cucumber when I went down stairs. Ugh – I can still taste it. Ned, he talks me into the craziest things. I made him some postum the other night – and he put maple syrup in it. He’ll drink hot water and sugar, and prune juice [Page 2] 2. and milk. That’s my Pop – but I love him. I was very disappointed tonight – because there was no letter from you, waiting for me. I had a letter from Joeie – and a card from Lucky. I have your picture right here beside me as always. Gee, but your handsome and so wonderful. Your all mine too – so don’t-cha ever forget it. Ive decided that our little boy (“Someday”) is to be named after you. I don’t want any arguments, because my mind is made up. Another thing – we’re only going to have 3 or 4 children, because �if their anything like you I’ll never be able to handle them. Stubborn, but so darn sweet and wonderful. I do want to be Mrs. Manley, someday Ned. More than anyone will ever know. Im so sleepy [text strikethrough] right [text strikethrough] now I can hardly [text strikethrough] write. Take care of yourself—for me – Goodnight Ned Darling I’ll be loving you Always, Jeannie P.S.

Sweetheart – Received your record today. Thank you Ned, its really swell. Ive always liked that song “You’ll Never Know,” but when I heard you sing it, I just could’nt help myself – I cried like a baby. You’ll never know what that record means to me – never. Dad, just come in, he worked late tonight. He’s in a good mood. Come in and kissed me – and give me a pack of gum. Ive got the sniffles tonight. Its this dog gone weather that’s causing it. Norma, has an awful cold, could’nt talk out loud – day before yesterday. Her Mother said it was strangely quiet around their house that day. It has rained most of the day. It is’nt – raining now – but its mighty cold. I stopped in to see my girlfriend [Page 2] after work tonight. She got home from the hospital today. I had a letter from Norma, today – and one from Arthur. I wrote to Arthur, but Normas, letter will have to wait until tomorrow night. Im going to see her tomorrow afternoon. We have a few things to do first – then we’ll have dinner somewhere. It’ll be swell seeing her again. (Yummy, the gum’s good!) I love you Ned Manley, your wonderful. Your so gosh darn sweet. I’ll never cease loving you, ever. I want you, always. Your on my mind all the time – every minute of the day and night. I just wish you were here with me tonight, so I could hold you very close, kiss you, and never let you go. I want you Ned, oh ever so much. Dad, said to tell you he said “hello” The family is well, and the kids are as mean as ever. �Im sitting at the dining room table. Got some music on the radio – their playing “Saturday Night Is The Loneliest Night Of The Week”. Know [text strikethrough] who’s singing? Why Frankie, of course – swoon! Id rather hear [Page 3] 3 my Sweetheart sing. You have a wonderful voice Ned, and by the way its improving. That record was simply super! Im going to go up to bed now. I’ll try and dream of you tonight Darling. Take care of yourself – for me. I’ll be loving you Always, Jeannie P.S. “3 or 4” ?????????

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

My Sweetheart – Just got home an hour ago. Already Im ready for dreamland. Im very tired and sleepy – and very much in love. Norma, and I, had a swell time tonight. We went to the Alhambra – and saw “A Guy, A Gal And A Pal” and “Rough Tough And Ready” They were both swell pictures. The theater was packed but we found a couple seats together on the balcony (remember Darling?) After the show we went to the Standard Drug – had a milkshake – and did a lot of gossiping. About what??? Well that’s a secret – but you’ll find out Sweetheart. Anyway it was swell seeing her again – and swell talking with her. Your Mother, called while I was out – so I’ll call her first thing tomorrow when I get to work. I love you Ned Manley, oh I do. Gee, you’ll never know how much this heart of mine miss’s you. Its so lonely without you. [Page 2] 2. I just turned the radio on – I want to listen to “Sleepy Serenade” – remember you use to listen to it? It is’nt on yet – but will be in a few minutes. Right now their playing “He’s Home For A Little While” I wish I had you right here now. I bet-cha Id never let you go – ever. I want you so much Ned.

Ive been sort of nervous lately. I did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen (oh what I would’nt give for a G.E. Dishwasher) Then I washed out a few things. Ironed off a blouse – and pressed a skirt. Then I decided to sit down and write a few letters. I had a letter from Joeie, yesterday – so I wrote to him, and then I thought Id better write to my Honey. Well here I am. I love you Ned. Golly, Im so lucky to have you – your so very wonderful. I love you more than anything else in the whole world Darling, and I always will, always, forever, [Page 2] 2. eternally, and everything else. There was no letter from you yesterday. I was awfully disappointed. Those letters of yours mean so very much to me Ned. Norma, is going to call me anytime now. I guess we’re going out to a movie tonight – or something. We plan to see a lot more of each other during the summer. We want to get a nice tan – go on picnics together – go swimming – and she’s even trying to talk me into going horseback-riding. Hm-m – I wonder? I was talking to Dad, this morning – about you. I told him you were suppose to go before the O.C.S. board last Tuesday. He ask me if you drank coffee. Of course I told him – you did’nt care for it. Bobby, my cat just jumped up here on my lap. The cats are both getting big Ned, growing fast. I [text strikethrough] can’t get over how sweet Narda’s little white kitten is. Id like to see the puppies. [Page 3] 3. �Its really swell out today. It has warmed up a lot. The sun is out – and I guess it is’nt going to rain any more. I hope not anyway – oh how I hate rain. I miss you a lot Ned. No one will ever know just how much I do miss you. I love you more than I could ever put into words – I want you so. I guess I’ll start dinner now Ned. I have to get dressed yet. Ive been running around in a pair of slacks and sweater all day. Can’t go out like this – or can I? If I get home early enough tonight Sweetheart – and Im not too sleepy – I’ll write again tonight. Be good – and take good care of yourself – for me. I’ll be loving you, Always, Jeannie P.S. I love you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

April 11, 1945 9:30 P.M. Darling – Just got home a few minutes ago. I met Norma, after work – and we had supper together. She quit work early – so she could meet me. We had some pictures taken – why, I’ll never know. I washed my hair quite late last night—and did’nt put it up. So my hair was a mess— but as you can see – its growing. Im lying here on my Dad’s bed waiting for Norma, to phone me, and of course writing to the most wonderful boy in the world. Im awfully tired tonight – I don’t know why, guess I just can’t take it. I received your letter as of the 9th, today. Oh Ned, it is wonderful. You’ll never know [Page 2] 2. what those letters of yours mean to me. I treasure each and every one of them. Ned, your going to get fat. How you can eat a quart of ice-cream is beyond me – let alone – cake, peanuts, milk, a chocolate bar, and a coke. Oh Manley, no wonder you didn’t feel well. What ever you do Ned, don’t ever change your mind about me. I don’t know what Id do if you did. I love you, and I do want you. I want very much to be Mrs. Manley – “Someday”. I want to belong to you, always. Darn right, you’ll never leave me once your home to stay. I’ll never let you out of [Page 3] 3. my sight again. We do belong Together Darling – and we’re going to be together, “Someday”, for always. �I got the cookies on their way to you – today. Ive been neglecting you have’nt I Ned! Im sorry – honest I am. I’ll try awful hard to do better in the future. Your Mom, seems to be sending you more than you can handle I hope I get a chance to [text strikethrough] bake this coming Sunday. I hope you can read this scribbling Ned Im just half awake. Dad had been working late all week. Here it is 9:45 – and he is’nt home yet. I don’t know if he’s bowling tonight or not. I can’t keep track of him any more. [Page 4] 4. Joe, is really gone on Norma. So he tells me anyway. He say’s Cleveland is his first stop – and he’s taking Norma on to New York, with him. She’s told me, she’ll marry him – so I guess its all set. I just wonder what the outcome will be. I know one sure thing – I love you, and Im going to marry you, just as soon as its possible. I love you so Darling. Darn right, we’ll have all “28” – and who knows how many more. Seriously tho’ Ned, we’re not going to have more than four, if I have my way about it. [Page 5] 5. Im very lonesome Sweetheart. I wish you were here close to me – Id be so happy. I have to close now Ned, Im going to lay down here on my Dad’s bed – and wait for Norma, to call. Im very tired. So until tomorrow. Goodnite Sweetheart. I’ll be loving you for, Always Jeannie P.S. “Someday” �We won’t call it a family – just call it a tribe. I love you. Hay, what about [?] little apartment down in [?] flats? (over) --10:30 P.M. Just finished talking to Norma. She said to tell you she said “hello”, and she sends her love. Oh Manley, I love you so. “Someday” Im going to bed now, and I’ll try awfully hard to dream of you again tonight. By the way Sweetheart, I forgot to tell you. I did dream of you last night. Believe it or not, you and my Dad, were [text strikethrough] chasing some girls.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Sweetheart— Ive been thinking of you all day long Darling. Your always on my mind as well as in my heart. Just wish you could be here in my arms. I washed out a few clothes this afternoon – got dressed up – and went for a ride out in the country with my Mom and Dad. Shirley, and Chuck, were’nt home. I was just wishing you could be sitting there in the backseat with me. Tonight after dinner, Dad and I went bowling. I did a little better than usual – beat my average any way. We got home at about 9:45—and had something to eat. Right now Dad, is in the living room resting in the big red chair. [Page 2] 2. Im here in the dining room – at the table. I love you Sweetheart – more than anything else in the whole wide world. Your so very wonderful. Im the luckiest gal in the whole wide world – cause I have you. Your mine Pvt. Manley exclusively – and don’t-cha ever forget it. Im sort-a tired tonight – although I guess I should’nt be. I got quite a bit of sleep last night. I got to bed at 9: P.M – and got up at 9:45 this morning. Im just an old weakling – I guess. I’ll show you how strong I can be when you come home tho’. I’ll squeeze the life out of you Manley. [Page 3] Gee, it was very wonderful talking to you today. It mean’t so much to me to hear your voice again – and to hear you tell me, you love me. It made me very happy Oh Ned, I love you so. I miss you very much. It’s so darn lonesome around here — I feel sort of lost. I’ll always love you Ned – I’ll always want you. Im yours for always – forever, eternally, and everything else. �Dad, has gone upstairs to take a bath. The rest of the family has gone to a movie. Now if you were here with me, you’d get kissed Manley. Norma, said the party was swell last night. Just [Page 4] 4. a bunch of gals who have boyfriends in the service – getting together – to stay overnight. So they call it a slumber party. Norma, said she did’nt get much sleep though. All they did all night was talk. There were [text strikethrough] {eight} seven girls at the party – and they all slept in one room. Im glad I was’nt there – it was just a wee-bit too crowded. Norma, and I are going skating next Saturday night together. We can’t see each other during the week – because she works until 8:30 every night – except Saturday and Sunday of course. During the summer I’ll be seeing a lot of her. Im [Page 5] 5. going to stay on where I am I guess. Norma, won’t be going to school during the day – so she’ll work instead, and she’ll quit at 6: P.M. everynight. Im listening to Hermits cave. Br-r-r- its spooky!! Wish you were here Ned – we’d turn off the lights – and Id cuddle up real close. Oh Manley I want you so. We’re going to have our “Someday” Darling. It will be ever so wonderful being married to you. I love you Ned. I’ll always love you. I’ll never leave you – how could I? When you mean the world and all to me. Im going to call your [Page 6] 6. Mother tomorrow when I get to work. Golly – I just can’t wait to see what you look like in uniform. I’ll bet you’re the handsomest soldier [text strikethrough] {Camp Att} Fort Mc Clellan. �I love you Sweetheart – and we’re gon-na have our “Someday” too. So until tomorrow Darling.

His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012).

In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.
