John Robert McMahon Dies While At Play
The sudden passing of John Robert McMahon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis J. McMahon, was a shock to the entire community. "Johnny" as he was known to his many playmates and adults alike, was afflicted with a heart ailment from birth. In spite of much effort on the part of his little friends, his teachers and his parents to protect him, he died at play on Saturday, May 17th shortly before noon.
At school John was popular with the teachers, his classmates and many others from the grades. On the street and at the store he had many acquaintances, both, young and old. He was a good boy in his home and found much enjoyment in reading and music and in building. His quiet nature and little deeds of kindness endeared him to everyone in his neighborhood. He will be missed by parents and children alike.
John Robert McMahon was born at Harris, Iowa, November 24, 1932, and leaves to mourn his early departure his mother and father Mr. and Mrs. Francis J. McMahon; his sister Mary Alice; his grandmother, Mrs. J.J. McMahon of Manilla; his grandfather, P.K. Paulsen, Sr. of Irwin and a host of other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at the Ohde Funeral Home on Monday afternoon at two o'clock with the Reverend Alexander Wimberly in charge. Burial was in the Manning Cemetery. Those acting as pallbearers were Clark Hershman, Dale Bingham, Harold Petersen and Ray Schrum.
