ELIAS PINCH VICTIM OF STROKE
Summons Comes to Well Known Citizen After Brief Illness.
FUNERAL ON FRIDAY
Leaves Widow, One Son, and Two Daughters, Lived Here Many Years.

Elias Pinch, well known citizen of Manchester, Passed away at his home on East Main street Tuesday night, Jan 9, 1934, after an illness of a few days. Mr. Pinch, while not in the best of health for some time, was able to be about, and on Monday of last week was stricken with an apoplectic stroke and lingered until the following evening.

Mr. Pinch, son of the late Elias and Katharine Pinch, was born in the village of Dickeyville, Wis., April 6, 1956. At the age of fifteen years he came with his family to Iowa and located on a farm near the village of Epworth. His marriage with Miss Lottie Cox occurred at the home of the bride's parents, at Peosta, Iowa, and for two years after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Pinch lived on the home farm near Epworth. The family then came to the farm now owned by H. J. Mawe, east of Manchester, where they resided until sixteen years ago, when they came to Manchester and erected their handsome home on East Main street.

Mr. Pinch is survived by the devoted wife, two daughters, Mrs. Myrtle Hansen, who makes her home with the mother; and Mrs. Jennie Fawcett, of Peosta, Iowa; and by one son, Walter, who has been in Florida; and by three sisters, Mrs. Edward Stolz and Mrs. George Kirby of Dubuque; and Mrs. Leonard Metcalf, of New London, Minn. and four grandchildren. One daughter, Edith, passed away in the year 1913.

Mr. Pinch had been a member of the Methodist church for many years. He was a man endowed with a kindly nature, ever solicitous for the interests of his family. Mr. Pinch was honorable in all of his dealings with his fellowmen and was held in the highest esteem and most affectionate regard by everyone here. His death has taken from Manchester a citizen whose life was exemplary, and his influence was always for the things which were uplifting and good.

Mr. Pinch's death brings a great sorrow to the home, and the sympathy of many friends goes out to the wife and children.
