WALTER MANNING

Funeral services for Walter M. Manning were held at the Pierce Methodist 
church last Saturday afternoon, the body being taken to Magnet afterwards 
to be laid to rest beside that of an infant brother.

Walter Mason Manning Jr. was born on April 20, 1911 and passed away in the 
hospital at Valley Junction, Iowa on September 28, 1933 at the age of 22 
years, 6 months and 8 days. His boyhood was spent at Norfolk and on the farm 
in Pierce County. He was baptized at the age of five years and united with 
the First Presbyterian Church of Norfolk.

He served four years in the navy and was honorably discharged in December 
1930. For the past few years he has made his home with his father and 
stepmother at Sioux City, Iowa. At the time of his death he was employed in 
Valley Junction, Iowa. He is survived by his parents, four brothers, Leonard 
Manning of Valley Junction, Iowa, James, Clifford and George Sullivan and 
three sisters, Bernice, Lucile and Josephine all of Pierce county and many 
friends.

NOTATION: Bernice again tells that dear Walter Jr. had been engaged to be 
married and when the young lady changed her mind he was so distraught that 
he committed suicide. His heartbroken mother had his body brought back to 
Nebraska, had funeral services held and then had him laid to rest by his little 
baby brother.
