DEATH OF AN AGED CITIZEN.

Alexander Mann, a resident of Bayou Sara for the past 37 years, died Wednesday 
night at half-past ten o'clock.  He had been ailing for several days, but 
would not go to bed, but continued to move about in his store, looking after 
his business, until late in the afternoon his illness took an acute turn and 
the physician was summoned in haste.  Mr. Mann was 81 years, 6 months and 19 
days old, and had begun to be quite feeble, although an indomitable energy 
possessed him.  After having retired from business for a number of years, in 
1911 he resumed his old business of store-keeping, taking the store and stand 
of his son-in-law, the hlate M. C. Levy.

Mr. Mann was a native of Worms, Germany, but had lived in this country the 
greater part of his life.  His wife died many years ago, but eight children 
survive him.  These are Messrs. Ben Mann of Bayou Sara, Max and Abe Mann of 
St. Francisville, Dave and Dan Mann of Alexandria, La., Mrs. M. C. Levy of 
Bayou Sara, Mrs. Fena Lehman of rayne, La., and Mrs. Harry Weinberg of 
Baltimore, Md.

Interment was made in New Orleans, yesterday morning at ten o'clock, the body 
being taken there on the L. R. & N. train, Thursday afternoon, accompanied by 
Messrs. Dave and Abe Mann and Mrs. Levy.  Mr Ben Mann went down Thursday 
morning to make arrangements for the funeral.

Relatives from a distance were Messrs. Dan and Dave Mann, Dan and Max Levy, 
all of Alexandria.  Besides his children, Mr. Mann leaves a large number of 
grandchildren and great grandchildren, most of whom were born and reared in 
this community, the family being an unusually large and predominent one.  The 
True Democrate extends condolence to them in their bereavement.
