Vol. 31 No. 48. Nov. 9, 1916. 1 - 6: "Mrs. ASAHEL MANN. Pioneer Mother Who has Lived in Fremont county for Sixty Years Called to Her Reward." -- The Herald of last week told of the death of Mrs. Jennie Mann, who passed away on Monday, October 30 at the hospital in Rochester, Minnesota, following an operation a short time before. Chloe Jane Scott was born July 1, 1845 in Dubuque county, Iowa. When she was 11 years of age the family moved to Fremont county and settled on a farm north of Hamburg. On December 11, 1866, she was united in marriage with Asahel Mann. To this union three children were born: Lawrence who now resides in Tremonton, Utah; Mrs. W. E. Craft, who died in 1900; and Miss Maude, who has lived at home. She also leaves her sister, Mrs. S. A. Hotzinger of Hamburg. Her husband, Hon. Asahel Mann, who represented Fremont county in the legislature in 1907-8, died a little over two years ago. This pioneer family established their home six miles northwest of Hamburg, where they have always lived. Mrs. Mann was one of the best of women. As a neighbor, a wife and mother she exhibited all the gentler qualities of her sex, combined with a strong personality that was a force of good throughout the circle of her acquaintance, and a wide circle of friends will always revere her memory. She leaves two granddaughters whose home is in Sidney, Misses Helen and Georgia Craft. The funeral services were held at the home last Thursday afternoon, conducted by Rev. A. C. Bonham of Hamburg assisted by Rev. C. M. Ward of Sidney. Interment was in the Sidney cemetery. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
