Little Willie Porter Dies.
September 22, 1910 Manning Monitor
Last Saturday evening about eleven o'clock little Wilbur Porter aged eleven years, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Porter peacefully passed from this world to that beyond. Last Monday a week ago he took his book and went to school, later he became sick and was hurried to Omaha, but could get no relief. He seemed cheerful during his brief illness and the day before he died he rode the pony about the yard. The funeral was held at the Methodist church. Rev. Harvey preaching the sermon. Six of his classmates were the pallbearers and as these little schoolmates filed down the isle of the church bearing the form of their departed loved one, the scene was indeed touching. The remains were taken to the Manning Cemetery where the last funeral rites were held and where he was laid to rest beside his little sister who had preceded him several years. The bereaved parents have the heartfelt sympathy of a large number of friends in their hour of trial.

We wish to express our thanks to all those who so kindly helped us and comforted us during the sickness and death of our beloved son. Especially comforting were the flowers. May God bless you is our wish.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry and Lucy (Hebb) Porter.
