Death of Samuel Mansker
Our old neighbor, Samuel B. Mansker, son of the late Robert Bruce and Mary A. (Cagle) Mansker, died at the home of his daughter, Nettie, Mrs. Walter Miller, in Chester, after being in poor health for some time.
All our older people knew him as he lived around here most of his life, farming in different places. People well remember his old mother, Aunt Mary Ann, who used to “shout” in meeting so easily, and who was like a local preacher.
Mr. Mansker and his wife, Martha Lucretia Johnson, had ten children. She and seven of the children are dead. Besides the daughter, Nettie, there are still two boys, Samuel Jr. of Memphis, Tennessee, and Robert of Anna.
He had eleven grandchildren and two great grandchildren, although he was but 69 years old the 4th of last May.
Two of his sisters are living and were at the funeral, Nettie, wife of Nicholas Surges of Chicago, and Chloe, wife of Edward Miles of Carbondale.
The funeral was at Schroeder’s Chapel October 5th. Brother Taylor talked on “No Cause For Fear”, from “Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled. . . . In the world ye have tribulation; but be not dismayed, I have overcome the world”. The ladies sang “Shall We Gather at the River”, “The Old Rugged Cross”, and “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere”, all of which had been requested.
He was buried in the Wood Cemetery, between Rockwood and Chester.
