October 11, 1883, Manning Monitor
DIED Saturday morning, October 6, 1883, Mrs., Lydia Ann, wife of Charles W. Brent, of Manning, Iowa. Mrs. Brent's disease was consumption. It attacked her after she had measles in May last, and from being a woman of robust health she has gone down to death so soon. She was but 23 years of age. She leaves a loving husband and two little children to mourn the loss of mother and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Brent were among the first settlers of Manning, but so quietly and unobtrusively have they lived and so rapid has been the influx of strangers that they were but little known, yet many sympathizing friends extend their kindest solicitations to the bereaved husband in his distress.
Lydia Brent is buried in the Manning City Cemetery.
Section B Row #42 south - north.
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
