R.F. Tidd Dead.
Robert F. Tidd, one of the pioneer residents of Manning, died at Omaha last Friday, and was brought to Manning for burial on Sunday last.

Mr. Tidd was one of the first settlers in Manning residing here for years and moved to Omaha, where he has resided for the last sixteen years.

He has been ailing for nearly two years and not able to do anything, but was thought to be getting a little better and on Friday he was trying to get downstairs when he fell and dislocated his neck, which caused death very soon.

Mr. Tidd was 68 years old and a native of Ohio.

The funeral took place at the Christian Church at 11 o'clock Sunday morning and the remains were laid beside his three children in the Arney Cemetery (Iowa Township Cemetery), west of town. Mrs. Tidd was the only one accompanying the remains from Omaha.

The two sons, Frank and Willie are supposed to be yet alive, but have not been heard of for some time.

Mrs. Tidd will visit a few days in Manning and vicinity and then go to Marshall County, her old home where she has two sisters living.
