Quincy Daily Journal, Tuesday, November 18, 1913, Page 8 MISS MANION DIED TODAY Her Life Was Striking Example of Absolute Unselfishness and Quiet Heroism. Miss Margaret J. Manion died at 10:45 o'clock last night at the home of her sister, Mrs. Michael (Anna Manion) Clune, 429 North Twelfth Street. She was 56 years old. "Madge" Manion as she was always known to her relatives and friends was born and raised in Hannibal (Marion County, Missouri). She was a member of a family that was always most highly respected and she herself was esteemed by every one who knew her. The family met with misfortune years ago. The father fell or leaped from the Hannibal bridge and was drowned. There was never any reason known for his suicide, if suicide it was. The mother and her four daughters bravely took up the task of maintaining a home and in this work 'Madge" being the oldest was foremost. She became a skilled dressmaker. In fact, she learned this trade and worked at it actively long before her father's death and in the Foley dressmaking parlors, long the fashionable and high-class establishment of its kind, in Hannibal, there was no better modiste than Madge Manion. She worked at the business, devoting her earnings to the support of the family, until two or three years ago, although in the meantime her sisters learned trades, also, and very ably assisted her and her mother, and eventually two of the sisters married and established homes of their own. Then, after her work was almost completed, as it seemed, Madge Manion contracted a cancer, and for two years she had been obliged to accept the kindly offices (offers) of her sisters, and a home with them. They have given her every possible care and attention, but cancer is a disease which is seldom conquered, either by medical skill or loving care. Here in Quincy Miss Manion was not so well known because she was an invalid most of the two years she had resided here, but those who became acquainted with her became warm friends, for her kindly disposition and patience in extreme suffering appealed to every one with whom she came in contact. Besides her mother, Mrs. Mary (Ferguson) Manion, the decedent is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Michael (Anna) Clune and Miss Bina Manion, of this city, and Mrs. James (Sarah) Flynn of (North) Platte, Nebraska. Miss Manion was a member of St. Peter's Church and of the Hannibal lodge of Knights and Ladies of Security. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Madge Manion's life was a striking example of the fact that there are heroes who never see a battlefield, and good women who are never mentioned in the society columns of the newspapers. ***All comments in parenthesis by Great Niece, Gretchen Flynn.

She will be greatly missed among her friends and neighbors. We have lost a dear treasure, but she has gained a home in heaven where all suffering is over.A loving mother true and kind No friend like her on earth will find, God called her home, it was His will, But in our hearts she lingers still For all of us she did her best May God grant her eternal rest. Dear mother, how we miss you As the days are passing by But God is sure to welcome you As you descend on High. The angels, too will play their harps, Upon streets of gold, While in the grave you silent lie, Dear God receives your soul. Suffering is all o'er, Safe with the angels, Happy and blessed.By a friend, Clara JOHNSON.
