Death of Mr. George Dewing.
Died, on Monday morning at six o'clock, at the home of his son, C.D. Dewing, in this city, Mr. George Dewing, of heart failure. Mr. Dewing was well known to all Manning citizens, he having made his home here for a number of years. He had not been in the best of health during recent years, and was quite ill with brain troubles for several days prior to his death. The old gentlemen had been anxious for some time to see his daughter, Mrs. A.A. Rowley, who arrived in the city last week, and the excitement produced by the previous knowledge of her expected visit, caused a sudden attack of brain fever. Although his relatives realized that Mr. Dewing was in a very serious condition, it was a terrible shock to them when the end occurred so unexpectedly. Charles D. Dewing, of Brookings, South Dakota, had been informed of the condition of his father and arrived in town Saturday evening.

Short funeral services were held at the Dewing residence Monday evening, at eight o'clock, Rev. S.O. Elliott officiating. The remains were taken to Elkhorn, Wisconsin, that evening on the nine o'clock passenger, to be laid by the side of those of his wife, who preceded him twenty-one years. Mr. and Mrs. C.D. Dewing, Mr. Charles D. Dewing, and Mrs. A.A. Rowley accompanied the remains to their final resting place. Frank Dewing joined them at Tama.

Mr. George Dewing came to Manning in 1884, and has resided here the greater part of the time since. Although an aged man, seventy-six, he was never contented unless actively engaged at work. His life's labors are now ended, death has summoned him to his eternal home. The order of his life is now changed and the battle ended; peace and rest are all that now remain. For the living he is now but a tender memory.

Mr. Dewing was born in Chautauqua County, New York, November 8, 1818, and was married in the same county to Miss Louise Garfield in 1837. They moved to Elkhorn, Wisconsin, in 1848, and it was here that his wife died in December 1873. Six children survive their parents: Mrs. Charles Lyons, of Elkhorn, Wisconsin; Mrs. A.C. Koman, of St. Louis, Missouri; Mrs. A.A. Rowley, of Topeka, Kansas; F.A. Dewing, of Carroll; Charles D. Dewing, of Brookings, South Dakota, and Clint C. Dewing, of Manning.
