Death of Capt. Manion

The death of Capt. George D. Manion, occurred at his home in Kaufman last Saturday morning, He was buried Monday evening and his remains were followed to the last resting place by one of the largest concourses of people ever seen in Kaufman.

Capt. Manion was one of Kaufman County's best lawyers and most prominent citizens. He was well known to nearly everybody in the county. The editor of the Times-Star knew him and esteemed him highly for his worth and ability. Capt. Manion had served in the Texas legislature and could have been elected to higher positions of honor and trust if he had desired office. While he often took active part in politics in the interest of friends or in favor of public questions, he never sought office himself. He was a Mason and occupied a prominent place in the Baptist church of which he was a member. His loss to Kaufman as a citizen leaves a vacant place that cannot be filled. He was ever foremost in her battles and never ceased to work for her interests. Such a man is worth an untold sum to a town and community, As a lawyer he was able and successful. Disease fastened itself upon his vitality and when after a lingering illness, life was extinct many a heart and home in the town of Kaufman and throughout the county felt sad. The sun of George D. Manion was a bright one and it has a peaceful tranquil setting.
