Reno Evening Gazette September 14, 1881
At Rest
Another Old Pioneer Passes Over to Join the Majority in the Unseen Beyond
Major S. A. Mann died last evening at about 7 o’clock, after an illness of some
weeks.  His ailment was dropsy, and although his friends knew the end was near,
the sturdy Major did not countenance the suggestion, and treated all fears which
came to his notice with a smile.  He had been unconscious two days previous to
his death, and it is believed that he suffered very little pain in his last hour.
Major S. A. Mann was admitted to the bar in the State of New York, he has been
Secretary and acting Governor of Utah, and at different times Clerk and Deputy
Clerk of Washoe City and Eastern Nevada, a partner of Tom Fitch, the silver
tongued, and in general was a man of infinitely more ability than those who
complain of his personal habits.  Whatever secrets may have been locked within
the Major’s breast, the world will never know, but his friends can say that he
had a good and generous heart, and his talents were much higher than the
average.  The honest man will bid the departed hail and farewell, and the curs
who prowl about graveyards from fear of the living, had better look to their own
deformities.  There is another grave in the dead city and another place in life
is vacant.  It is well if the dead man’s traducers can equal his charity and
forbearance towards his fellow men.  May he rest in the unseen beyond.
