Ernest is one of those lost souls for whom little is known. If you are able to give Ernest a family to live with, I would be most pleased to hear about it.
The late Mrs. J. C. Mann, who predeceased her husband a few months ago, was born at Dayleaford, Victoria, in the year 1876, and later resided in Melbourne, where her father carried on business as a tailor. As a young girl in her teens she entered the training home of the Salvation Army, and did field work in several States, as far north as Thursday Island. She was also stationed at Townsville, Charters Towers, Charleville and Pittsworth, the latter corps being opened by her over thirty years ago.
She had a deal of talent as an officer, and possesed a very nice voice and sang in many choirs. She eventually left the work to marry Mr. Sparrow, but he died soon after the death of her first child. After a term in business to finance her early difficulties, she married Mr. J. C. Mann.
Mrs. Mann suffered a long illness in St. Vincent’s Hospital, and later died at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Trott. The funeral was from Toowoomba to the Pittsworth Cemetary and Captain Rogers officiated at the graveside. Among those who paid their last respects was the brother of Mrs. Mann, Mr T Powell, who came from Melbourne to be at her side at the end.
