Miss Winifred A. Meany, 61, teacher in Manitowoc county schools for
20 years, and for 15 years correspondent in the village of Reedsville
for the Herald-News and later the Herald-Times, died at 7 o'clock
Tuesday evening.
Miss Meany had been ill for six months and death was due to

She was prominent in affairs of the Parent Teachers association and the
Reedsville Woman's club and was also a member of St. Ann's society.
She had a wide acquaintanceship in and about Reedsville and this, together

correspondent until her last illness when the work was taken over by her
brother.
Survivors are three brothers, Thomas of Reedsville, James of Kohler and
