Obituary - The Evening Star (Washington, DC), April 29, 1910:
Special Correspondence of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md., April 29, 1910.
While attempting to brush cobwebs from the ceiling with a broom as she stood on the stairs in her home at Kensington yesterday afternoon, Miss Kate Mannakee, seventy-seven years old, lost her balance and plunged headlong down the stairway. Her head struck against the washboard in the corner of the hall, fracturing the skull at the base of the brain and causing death within fifteen or twenty minutes. Two physicians reached the house within a very few minutes after the accident, but their efforts were unavailing.
Miss Mannakee was a daughter of the late John Mannakee. She was a lifelong resident of Montgomery county and was held in high esteem. Surviving her are a brother, Dr. Frank H. Mannakee, and two sisters, Mrs. Rebecca Murphy and Mrs. Mary Nicholls.
