Obituary.
On Thursday at 7:15 a.m., Dec. 24, 1891, Mr. Charles Mann Sr., departed this life, after a complicated illness rendered fatal by an attack of la grippe. While on his way to vist a daughter, Mrs. Steinberger and family, he was taken seriously ill and died at the home of Mrs. Stump, another daughter in Winfield, Kansas.
The deceased was born Dec. 28th, 1808 in Oxford, New Hampshire. At the early age of fourteen years he went to sea, serving for fifteen years in different positions - at one time as mate and at another captain. He was favored with the rare privilege of extensive observation, visiting England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, France and Portugal, making fifteen different trips to the West Indies.
After fifteen years on the sea he changed his mode of life and settled in the state of New York, uniting in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Elcock, formerly of England. Three years later he made his residence for some time in Wisconsin; and subsquently spent several years in Illinois, after which he and his family came to Kansas and settled near what is now known as Akron, Cowley county - his home until he died.
In 1872 Mr. Mann made a public profession of religion and united with the Walnut Valley Presbyterian church, at that time under the care of J.E. Platter, of blessed memory.
A few years later Mr. Mann was elected Ruling Elder in the church, and, by choice of the members continued to serve in that useful capacity until the day of his death.
And, now since the good, exemplary man, "is not, for God took him," it may be truly said that the loss incurred by his departure is deeply and sensibly felt in the church and in the community.
Surely the departed has complied full well with the noble maxim; "Live so as to be missed."
In view of the interesting fact that he thought and spoke a great deal concerning church matters, it is evident that the dear Lord's Kingdom had a large, distinct place in the good man's heart. Again in addition to the Christian graces which adorned his life, he was a man of far more than ordinary intelligence, and was favored in the good Providence of God with an unusually strong physical constitution - passing in life almost three years beyond the four-score line.
As a kind, faithful husband and father he has at last however, left behind a wife, four daughters, one son, three son-in-laws and several grandchildren to mourn their great loss, all of whom have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends. Mr. Abe Steinberger, formerly editor of the "Winfield Telegram," Mr. W.E. Doud of the "Greenwood county Republican," and Mr. Frank Lacey of Akron, Kans., are sons-in-law of the deceased.
Then there is a widowed daughter, Mrs. Levi Stump, residing in Winfield, Kans., and also an only son, Mrs. Charles Mann, Junior, now living in Arizona.
For the comfort of all concerned it may be said that Mr. Mann was conscious almost to the last, realizing that he was passing away, and in a state of preparation for a better world. Moreover, he seemed from some of his last very suggestive expressions, to enjoy even here on earth delightful visions of scenes and sounds in the glorious world.
On Christmas day the remains were conveyed from the home of Mrs. Stump, a daughter in Winfield, to the Walnut Valley Presbyterian church, and were, after funeral services conducted by the pastor, laid to rest in the Akron cemetery.
"Blessed are the dead, which died in the Lord henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." C.P.G, Pastor.
