Norfolk Virginian May 29, 1891

It is with feelings of regret we are called upon to announce the death of Mrs. 
Mary Manning, which sad event occurred at her residence on Mulberry Street 
Thursday morning at 3 o'clock.  She had been a great sufferer for years with 
that dread disease, consumption, and all that medical skill could do was done, 
but of no avail, and her spirit passed to the God who gave it. She was sweet and 
lovely in disposition, an exemplary Christian, a devoted wife, a fond and loving 
mother and a true and faithful friend.
            "None knew her but to love her,
             None named her but to praise."
Now that her earthly mission has closed she has gone to reap that precious 
reward which the Saviour has promised to his faithful ones. She was a consistent 
member of the Episcopal Church.  In her last moments she talked beautifully to 
her loved ones around her and begged them to be ready when it pleased God to 
call them to meet her in heaven. She leaves a husband and four children with 
whom we deeply sympathize in their great sorrow. She has left an aching void 
which no one can fill. Thus has passed away one of earth's choicest flowers.
