Manwaring--At the Clark House in Hayward, Dec. 15, 1885, Mr. Thomas Manwaring, aged 36 years.
He was born in England. Twelve or thirteen years ago he came to America and settled at his home on Chippewa River where he soon opened a stopping place for lumbermen, which he kept until the present season, when failing health compelled him to close it up. He was one of the first settlers and a man who had many friends, and "Little Tommy," as he was familiarly called, has comforted many a lumbermen, among whom he will be missed. He was prominent in the formation of Sawyer County, having served as one if its first supervisors and was one of the committee in perfecting a settlement with Chippewa county. Through his energy, a postal route was established with him as postmaster, from the village of Hayward to Manwaring. From the first he has been a very hard laborer, logging during logging season and in summer clearing his farm in the heavy timber. He leaves a loving wife, four small children, and a large circle of friends to mourn his untimely death. The funeral was held from the Clark House Wednesday afternoon and his remains were laid at rest in the Catholic cemetery.
A Card of Thanks--I wish to express my sincere thanks to the citizens of Hayward, and especially to Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Clark, Pat Doran, Al. Brooks, and A. Cayo for their sympathy and aid during my late affliction. When their day of trouble comes, may they find friends as true and warm-hearted as they themselves have been.
