Many homes Of Elyria have been
saddened by the presence of Death
during the past week, but over none
did the shadow fall with more sudden
ess and gloom than that of Mr.. E. O..
Manter, when the wife and mother
passed away last Friday afternoon at
half past three O'Clock On the prev
ious Tuesday, little daughter was
born to Mrs. Manter. but she did not
recover and passed away after three
days illness. To her relatives and
friends the intelligence came with
such shock that it could scarce be
credited, and the one thought and
hope expires sed was that it was an un-
founded rumor. But the sad news was
too true, and large circle of friends
mourn her early demise, with feel
ing of sorrow that could only come
from knowing the altogether lovely
character of the deceased, OF gen
erous warm-hearted nature, she un-
consciously won friends and her sunny
smile and charming personality will
linger long in the memory of many
hearts. A sympathy that was never
failing, sincerity unwavering, and a
cordiality ever inspiring made up her
character, the influence of which can
never be expressed in words, but
which can only be felt in the lives of
those she touched while passing on her
way.
Lulu Hollenbach Manter was born
in Wellington, O., March 23d 1859
Her entire life was there spent and
she graduated in the class of '88 of the
Wellington High school. The succeed
ing seven years was spent in the school
room, the first two being employed in
teaching in the vicinity of Pittstield
and Wellington. She then came to
Elyria, where she became one of the
corps Of teachers in the public schools.
Her winning personality and training
made her one of the most successful
teachers of children and it was with
regret that her resignation was receiv-
ed and accepted. Her marriage to Mr.
E. G. Manter took place October 18th,
1895, and her home had been in Elyria
since that time. Her death occurred
Friday January, IA. She leaves hus-
band and two little children, the older
son not yet two years old, and the
daughter less than week old, cir
cumstance so sad that it can scarcely
be reconciled and which arouses the
entire sympathy of the community for
the bereaved ones.
The funeral services occurred from
her late home, Monday afternoon at
half past one O'Clock, Rev. w. E. Cad
mus pastor of the Congregational
church, of which the deceased was a
member, officiating. The house was
filled with sympathizing friends whose
tears flowed unheeded when they look
ed upon the face of her whom they
loved for the last time. The casket
was born to its last resting place by
her three brothers, Messrs. Howard,
Arthur and Frank Hollenbach and
Park Arnold, Charles Kelsey and Ross
Fauver, and was covered with beauti-
ful pink roses, and other lovely bloss-
oms gave their fragrance and beauty
to the sad scene, making it seem less
so, only in that they conveyed mean
ing of tenderest sympathy.
The parents of the deceased, Mr.. and
Mrs. R. s. Hollenbach, and daughter
May, and sons Howard, Arthur and
Frank of Wellington, Mr.. and Mrs. H.
Daugherty of Cleveland, Mrs. Schneer-
er and Miss Cahoon of Norwalk, Mr..
and Mrs E. s. Nichols and son Chas
Of Clyde, Miss Manter of Cleveland
and Mrs. M. Saxton of 0berlin, were
present at the last es.--Elyria DEM
