It is with profound sorrow that we record the passing of Mrs. Dora Lamp.
She was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, October 19th, 1863. At the age
of two years she came to this country with her parents. She was baptized
into the faith of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. On April 23rd, 1881, she
was married to Ferdinand Lamp, and immediately they went to a farm in
Crawford County. There they toiled and raised their family. About four years ago they came to Manning.
The husband and father died nearly two years ago, and one child predeceased
both parents. At the time of the passing of Mrs. Lamp, February 5th, she was 61 years 3 months, and 16 days old.
Those left to mourn her are her aged mother, Mrs. Paulina Siemon, nine
children, Mrs. Ed (Pauline) Georgius, Miss Bertha Lamp, Edwin and Otto Lamp, and Miss
Julia Lamp, all of Manning; Harry Lamp, California, Mrs. Annie Goettsch,
Davenport, Iowa; Mrs. Elsie Raimey, Omaha, Nebraska, and Mrs. Bid Schroeder, Des Moines, also eight grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at the home last Saturday at 2:00 p.m. conducted
by the Rev. Harry Coates, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Iowa Township Cemetery.
