Obituary.
One of the most sudden and unexpected deaths that has occurred in Manning was that of O.P. Zadow last Saturday morning. He had been suffering much pain from inflammatory rheumatism is several days past but no one thought for a moment that death would result from it. Mr. Zadow was a man of the best of habits and was loved by all with whom he had become acquainted. He was a member of the Lutheran Church and lived a good upright life. He was a young, strong, vigorous fellow and would have no doubt made his mark in the world had he been allowed to live.

Otto P. Zadow was born in West Prussia, Germany, February 25, 1877, and came with his parents in the year 1887, and first lived on a farm near Breda, moved for a short time near Walnut, and for several years resided near Odebolt where he learned his trade, that of wagon maker. He came to Manning in 1900. He was married at Odebolt February 25, 1901, and leaves his wife and one child, father, mother and ten brothers and sisters to mourn his loss. Short services were held at the residence Sunday evening after which the remains were shipped to Odebolt and laid to rest Tuesday afternoon followed by a large concourse of sorrowing friends.

The bereaved have the sympathy of the entire community in this, their sad hour of affliction.
