MRS. E. MANN

Brief mention was made in these columns last week of the death of Mrs. E.
Mann at the family home near Colome, Tripp county, S.D., on Tuesday, May 15,
1917, of cancer of the stomach, aged 46 years, 11 months and 11 days.

Lavinia J. Pendleton was born in Lafayette county, Wisconsin, June 4, 1870,
residing there until eleven years of age, when she came with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. John Pendleton, brothers and sisters to LeMars, Plymouth
county, Iowa. At that place on April 20, 1887, she was united in marriage
to E. Mann, and they began housekeeping on a farm in Johnson township,
Plymouth county, which remained their home for nearly thirty years. There
came to bless this union three children, Jesse J., Embert E., and Carrie
Irene, who, with the husband, are left to mourn a faithful wife and loving
mother. The family moved to Tripp county, S. D., in March 1915, where they
have since made their home, and where, after only a few weeks illness the
wife and mother passed quietly away. Her many loyal friends and neighbors
will long remember her bright and cheerful disposition and her helpful and
sympathetic nature, and all extend their heartfelt sympathy to the husband
and children, to the aged parents and to the other relatives in their sad
bereavement through her untimely taking away. Besides the husband and
children, there survive her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Pendleton, of Akron;
three brothers, Ed. And Jesse Pendleton, of near Akron; and Wm. Pendleton,
of Tripp county, S.D.; three sisters, Mrs. Carrie Ogden, near Akron; Mrs.
Hattie Smith, of LeMars, Ia.; and Mrs. Emily Alkire, of Fairbury, Nebr. All
were able to attend the funeral except Wm. Pendleton.

Mr. and Mrs. John Pendleton, parents of the deceased, and Mrs. Leon Ogden, a
sister, of Akron, and Mrs. Jos. Smith, of LeMars, a sister, were called to
Tripp county the first of last week by her critical illness, and they
accompanied Mr. Mann, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Mann, Embert and Carrie Mann, and
the remains to Akron Saturday.

Funeral services were held in the Akron M.E. church Sunday afternoon and a
large concourse of friends, including many from the old home vicinity near
Adaville, assembled to pay a last tribute of respect. Rev. W. W. Tyrrell
delivered an impressive sermon. There were many beautiful floral offerings.
The local members of the Royal Neighbors lodge, of which order the deceased
was a member, attended the service in a body. Interment was made in
Riverside cemetery. There the Royal Neighbors exemplified their beautiful
burial service.

Other relatives attending the funeral were an aunt, Mrs. Annie Parker, of
LeMars, and a number of cousins, [one line appears to be missing.]

The Winner (S.D.) Journal of May 19th had the following to say of the death
of Mrs. Mann and the services there: "On Friday night a large number of
friends paid their tribute of love to the memory of Mrs. Lavinia Mann, who
died at their home in Dog Ear township last Tuesday evening after a severe
illness of a few weeks, at the age of forty-six years, eleven months and
eleven days. The funeral services were held at the Lakeview church on
Friday morning, and conducted by Rev. James T. Guerney, the pastor. During
the short time she had lived in this county, she had made for herself many
friends who had learned to respect and love her."
