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.
