September 1, 1910Death Results From Lockjaw - MRS. WM. MANTHEI
Mrs. Wm. Manthei of this place, died on Monday, after a short illness resulting from blood poisoning.
About four weeks ago, Mrs. Manthei steped on a nail which caused a slight wound on the foot. The wound healed on the surface and nothing more was thought of it. About the first of last week, she began to ail and sometime during the week she consulted a physician. Blood poisoning had already set in and from it developed that dread disease, tetanus or lockjaw. A trained nurse from Des Moines was secured and every effort made to save her life, but she died Monday, after intense suffering.

Page 3Mrs. Mary Manthei was born Sept. 27, 1857, at Oshkosh, Winnebago county, Wis., and died at her home in Winterset on August 29, 1910, aged 52 years, 11 months and 2 days.
In 1868, at the age of 11 years, she came with her parents to Mahaska county, Iowa, removing the same year to Madison county, Iowa, where she has since made her home.
She was married to Wm. Manthei in 1876 at the age of 19 years. To this union four children were born, one daughter, Mrs. Olva Block, of Winterset, and three sons, Otto, of Davenport, Ia.; Edward, of Memphis, Tenn., and Carl O., of Des Moines, Ia. Besides the children she leaves a husband, mother, three brothers and one sister to mourn her loss. She was a member of the First Methodist church of this city.
About four weeks ago she had stepped on a nail. It healed up nicely and nothing was thought about it until a little over a week ago when she complained of her teeth hurting her. She consulted a doctor but too late, the disease proved to be lockjaw.
The funeral occurred at three p.m. from the Methodist church conducted by Rev. A. A. Walburn, and interment was made in the Rock City Cemetery.
