Graveside services for a former Manning resident, Alfred Sinn, 61, were held here Sunday with Pastor John Ansorge of the Zion Lutheran Church in charge. Mr. Sinn, who had suffered with heart trouble for more than a year, passed away April 10th in a hospital in Prescott, Arizona, where he had been a patient for three months.
Previous to that time he had been in a hospital in San Diego and had spent some time in New Mexico, hoping that the climate might prove beneficial.
Mr. Sinn let manning about ten years ago after owning and operating the Manning Bakery here for eleven years. He sold his business to the present owner, Mr. Freeland Valentine.
Before coming to Manning, he had been a baker for the Santa Fe Railroad in Los Angeles. He returned to that position when he left here.
Mr. Sinn was born in Germany, coming to Chicago when about twenty-four years old. He followed his trade in Wisconsin and had been foreman of the Langlass Bakery Company in Waterloo. Mr. Sinn spent three months with his brother and sister-in-law, Dr. Jens J. and Mrs. Louise Sinn, in Manning last year, then returned to his work in California. Mr. Sinn was never married.
His only survivor is one brother, Dr. Jens J. Sinn, Manning, and one sister, living in Germany.
