[Weekly Waterloo Courier, July 17, 1895, Waterloo, Iowa]

Rev. Cyrus Manwell, of La Porte City, died at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. John Shields, near that city, on Saturday morning, July 13, [1895]. Mr. Manwell has been in failing health for the past three years, but not until about three months ago did his disease manifest itself seriously.

Mr. Manwell was about 65 years old and had been engaged in the ministry of the English Evangelical Church for several years or until failing health compelled a rest from his labors.

The funeral was held from the Mr. E. church in La Porte City yesterday, sermon by Rev. E. B. Utt, of Cedar Eapids, and was largely attended, the Elder having enjoyed the confidence, respect and esteem of this community for a number of years.

His wife preceded him to the tomb several years ago. Three children, all grown to man and womanhood, are left to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent father. Two live at La Pa Porte City and one at Cedar Rapids.
