The Saginaw Daily News
Pioneer Lumberman Claimed By Death
Martin Mannion Was Active In The Early Lumber Industry For Years, Later 
Becoming Farmer.
     Martin Mannion of Saginaw Township, one of the early lumbermen of the 
Saginaw Valley, died at his home in Saginaw Township at 9:40 o'clock yesterday 
morning of gastritis at the age of 69 years.  Mr. Mannion came to Saginaw 
county in 1866 and shortly after entered the lumbering business.  His first 
venture was as a member of the firm of Allen and Mannion, the other member of 
the firm being Frank Allen.  The larger part of the firm's business was in 
Clare County.  In 1887 Mr. Mannion retired from the lumbering business and 
purchased the Lockwood farm in Saginaw township, which has since been his home.
     Mr. Mannion was a member of St. Andrew's church, Gage Tent No. 111, 
K.O.T.M.  He was born November 9, 1846, in Galway county, Ireland and came to 
this country in 1851, with his parents, settling in Dansville, N.Y., where 
they made their home until 1866, when Mr. Mannion came to Saginaw.
     He was married November 23, 1868, to Miss Ellen Egar, of Saginaw.  He is 
survived by four sons, Martin, John and Frank of Saginaw and Walter Mannion of 
Saginaw township; three brothers, Frank Mannion of Mt. Morris, Patrick Mannion 
of Washington, and Thomas Mannion of New York; three sisters, Mrs. Robert 
Dailey of Lansing, Mrs. John Tool and Mrs. Richard O'Connor of Flint, and ten 
grandchildren.
     The funeral will take place at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning from the 
family home and at 10 o'clock from St. Andrew's church and the interment will 
be in St. Andrew's cemetery.

Additional Comments:
Some errors in the names are: Ellen Egar should be Egan.  Mrs. Robert Dailey 
should be Daly.
