Lake Odessa Wave - Thurs. Aug. 21, 1902

Dr. W. A. Mann is seriously ill at his home on First street, and there are but 
little hopes for his recovery.

Later -  Dr. Mann died at a few minutes before noon today, his family being  
present at his bedside. He was taken sick just one week ago, coming home from 
the ox roast at Milliken where he was in attendance with the Lake Odessa band. 
A doctor was summoned. Typhoid fever first developed, and gravest fears were 
expressed for his recovery from the first. Drs. Horner and Day were first 
called in and later Dr. Flint, of Clarksville, a friend of the family was 
summoned, and the three men resorted to every means to put the stricken man on 
the road to recovery, but to no avail; as some internal complications set in a 
couple of days ago, when it was most thought that his recovery could be 
effected, and all hope was abandoned. 

The remains will be taken to the deceased's old home in Canada tomorrow evening 
where the funeral will be held. 

Dr. Wesley A. Mann was born at Strathroy, Canada, December 17, 1857.

He came to Michigan twelve years ago, stopping at Bay City. In 1884 he was 
married to Miss Pamela Adelaide Armstrong, at Mt. Pleasant. At that time after 
the marriage, with his wife he returned to Canada, and studied to be a 
veterinary surgeon, and there successfully graduated form the Toronto 
Veterinary College. After securing his sheepskin he again returned to Michigan, 
coming to Lake Odessa from Clarksville less than a year ago.

To Mr. and Mrs. Mann was born one son, Fred, now a young man 17 years of age, 
who is left with his mother to mourn the loss of a devoted father and husband. 

In Mr. Mann's short residence in the village he has made many friends, and was 
regarded in the highest esteem by all, as he only identified himself with what 
was right and clean, and in the death of such as he, the town loses a splendid 
citizen. He was a member of the Lake Odessa band, and was also a Woodman in 
good standing.
