Four Women Answer Final Summons
Mrs. Thomas Manton

Friends of the family in this city were deeply grieved Monday evening to hear of the passing of this young wife at her home in Lafayette township, of pneumonia. She had been sick just a week but her death was not expected and was a terrible shock to relatives, and friends. She was the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Whalen, old and respected residents of this city, a graduate of the Sisters’ and High Schools and a successful teacher for years before her marriage a year ago Thanksgiving time to Thomas Manton. She was aged about 24 years. The remains were brought here for burial this morning, and after Requiem Mass celebrated by Father Ryan, of New Albin, in the absence of Dean Haxmeier, all that remained of this once bright, active and lovable girl, friend and wife was gently lowered to its last resting place in peaceful Gethsemane. Much sorrow is felt for the bereaved husband and expressions of deep sympathy are extended to the parents, brothers and sisters of the departed in this city.
