MANNINGTON--Mrs. Mannington Passes Away.
Mrs. Amanda Mannington, wife of Wallace W. Mannington, passed away Wednesday morning, June 1, at the family home following an extended illness. Had she survived until Friday her life would have spanned seventy-eight years. She had been a continuous resident of Monroe for fifty long years this spring, coming here when the prairie was one wide expanse and the homes of settlers few and far between. During all these years her home was one of friendliness and welcome to all who came. The knowledge that death has at last separated this venerable couple will bring grief to all who know them. Besides her aged husband, she is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Ruth Kenyon, one granddaughter, Mrs. Raymond Smoots, and four great grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 1 o’clock from the home and at 2 o’clock at the Monroe Union church.
