From the LeMars Sentinel, Friday, March 16, 1917, Page 4, Column 4:

Union--Mrs. John Manning passed away at her home Tuesday evening at 7:30, after an illness of one week. Miss Caroline Munson was born in Kane County, Ill., September 20, 1857 (error--1853). She was married to Mr. John Manning in 1871. In the spring of 1876 they moved to Union township, Plymouth county, Iowa, where she has resided ever since. This union was blessed with seven children, one daughter, Ada, died at the age of 10 years, and one boy, Adel, died in infancy. She is survived by her husband and five sons, Edward, of Hastings, Neb., John, of Portland, Ore., Leroy, Harry and Raymond, of Plymouth county. Mrs. Manning was a great home body, believing her first duty was to her family. She was also a tireless worker and was ever ready to help some one in need. The funeral will be held on Monday morning at the Union township church at 10 o'clock, Rev. Schroeder officiating.
