August 30, 1883, Manning Monitor
Died, Friday, August 24 at 10 p.m. Iva May, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I.W. Harding. Only last week we were called upon to record the death of their little boy, and while he yet lay in his coffin the only remaining child of these stricken parents was seized with a violent attack of scarlet fever which carried her off in a few short days and she was laid to rest beside her brother in the Elba Cemetery (located just east of Templeton) on Saturday. Lonely and bereft, the poor heart-sore parents find no comfort without their little ones. Iva was their pride and consolation, strong and healthful and gave promise of joy and happiness to herself and her father and mother. Gone from them in a day, their home is desolate.

I'm occasionally adding the actual scanned image of the obituary I make using my VERY expensive - large commercial scanner,
and/or also other articles about the deceased person that were published in the Manning Monitor.
I want to also comment about people who are taking my obituaries, pictures, and/or other articles about a person/family and posting them on other websites.
You do NOT have permission or the right to do this - you are stealing my historical work.
Buy your own scanning equipment, pay for memberships to other commercial websites,
and spend decades working on your local history like I have - then you'll understand why I'm making these comments!
Thank you for your attention to this matter - Dave Kusel
