It used to be that children/family members of their deceased relatives
would send obituaries back to the hometown newspaper, in this case the Manning Monitor, but the traditional viewing, funeral,
services, luncheon, and obituaries are just about a thing of the past which is so sad, because
many people who knew that person and/or their family and even might be distantly related won't find out when the hometown newspaper isn't notified.
I realize that most funeral homes post those obituaries and sometimes the obits will be published in the town where the deceased lived, but unless you know who dies and search the
Internet for a possible obituary, it can be difficult to find.
More often than not any more, death notices or very brief obituaries are published, which can be difficult in determining
if/how the person is connected to Manning.
