The community was greatly shocked
and saddened Sunday morning on hear
ing of the sudden death of Mrs. Edwin
Mann. Mrs. Mann was Lefty Doughty
of Greenwood, and was married about
two years ago to Edwin Mann, and the
happy couple came here to reside with
every prospect of long lives and pros.
porous future. Since residing here Mrs
Mann had endeared herself to the hearts
of all who knew her by her excellent
character, cheerful disposition and
staunch friendship. She always carried a
smiling face and it was always pleasure
to meet her anywhere and especially in
her pretty and we'll ordered home. Mr.
and Mrs. Mann were both members OF
Onward Rebekah lodge of West Paris,
also the Golden Cross of this place, and
the Universalist Circle, and were always
ready to help in any way to advance the
interest of the orders, and all feel that
they have sustained an irreparable loss
by the death of Mrs. Mann who will be
greatly missed by them. Mrs. Mann left
a father and mother, three brothers and
sister to mourn her loss, besides de.
voted and loving husband who is utterly
crushed by her death; also Lewis Mann
who resides with them most of the time,
who feels that his sons loss is also his
own. The funeral services were held at
the Universailst church Tuesday after
noon, and the house was filled with
friends and relatives, Rev. j. Fl. Little
of South Paris officiating, who spoke in
an appropriate and comforting manner.
There was a large attendance of the
Rebekah lodge, and the Golden Cross at
tended in q body. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful. There was a
large cross from the commandery, a cir
Gle from the Universalist society, and a
piece from the Rebekahs, also many
others given by friends and relatives, all
beautiful testimonies of the love and re-
spect which filled all hearts for Mrs.
Mann. The remains were carried to
Norway for interment accompanied by
Edwin and Lewis Mann and other rela-
tives and friends. The two Messrs. Mann
returned to their saddened and desolate
home Thursday afternoon, and have the
sympathy of their many friends in their
sad bereavement.
