Manuel A. Mancebo Killed

The accidental death of Manuel A. Mancebo, Jr., an oiler on the ferry boat San Pablo on the 9:20 p.m. trip from here to San Francisco last Monday was a severe shock to his many friends and fellow employees. As the boat was approaching Alcatraz, an assistant engineer heard a dull thump and notified Chief Engineer Higgins who immediately stopped the engines. The body of Mancebo was found lying on the floor, the upper half of his head was lying a few feet away.

It is presumed by the officers on the ferry boat that Mancebo, while on a platform over the machinery, was struck by a piece of machinery.

The funeral, a very large one, was held yesterday. Rev. Father A.J. Cantwell said a high requiem mass for the repose of his soul. The remains were laid away in the family plot in Fernwood cemetery. The pall bearers being Manuel V. Silva, Andrew Soares, J. Antone George, J. Taxeira, Antone Simao and Joseph Rodgers. The Allied band of which he was a prominent member marched with their instruments playing appropriate music. Delegations from the I.D.E.S. and from Sea Point Parlor No. 158 of which he was a member, also turned out.

The deceased was a native of Sausalito, aged 34 years and 11 months, was the husband of the late Rose Mancebo, son of the late Joseph and Anna Mancebo, brother of Manuel A. Mancebo, Sr., and Joe A. Mancebo, Jr., and the late John A. Mancebo and Mrs. T.O. Ennis.

Death has been a frequent visitor among his immediate relatives. A year ago he buried his wife, in this year his brother John committed suicide, on January 30, his father died on April 27 and the mother of his sisterinlaw a few months ago.

He was a member of the Native Sons, I.E.E.S., I.D.E.S.S.T., and the Ferry Boatsmen's Union.

He was a very popular young man, highly esteemed by all.
