DEATH OF A PIONEER.
One of the oldest residents of Audubon County, John Concannon, died at his home, six miles
south of Manning, on last Friday. His death was caused by catarrh of the stomach. The
remains were brought to this city on last Saturday and taken to the Northwestern depot, from
whence they were sent to Harvard Junction, Illinois, the former home of the deceased. The
funeral services were held at that place on Wednesday. Mr. Concannon came to Audubon
County eighteen years ago, and has resided there ever since. Most of his business has been
transacted at Manning, and his many friends here will regret to learn of his death. He leaves
a wife and six children. His age at the time of his death was eighty-one years and some months.
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
