Death of Boy Sönksen
Boy Sönksen, Sr., died last Wednesday evening, August 29th, at his home in this city after a long suffering of over seven weeks. He had a stroke of paralysis over seven weeks ago from which he has been entirely helpless and also blind since that time.

Mr. Sönksen was an honest, upright man, a member of the Lutheran Church for many years, and will be greatly missed by his many friends.

Boy Sonksen was born in Germany in 1848, came to America over fourteen years ago and has since resided in Manning and vicinity up to the time of his death. He leaves a wife, Anna (Hansen) Sönksen, and six living children to mourn his loss viz: Mrs. H. Rohr, John Sonksen, Boy Sonksen, Jr., and Jens Sonksen of Manning and Mrs.

Katie Hass of Omaha, and a daughter in Germany. The relatives were all present at the funeral which occurred from the Lutheran Church Friday morning at 10 o'clock, Pastor Johann Ansorge officiating, after which the remains were interred in the Manning Cemetery south of town followed by a large concourse of sorrowing friends.
