    Obit from Find a Grave

    Sarah Ann Manges, daughter of Sylvester and Mary Manges was born in Salisbury, Mo on March 22 1862. She came to Bourbon county with her mother and family when a child and they homesteaded a farm northwest of the city in what is now known as the Stringtown neighborhood. This part of Kansas was all in dense timber at the time. The father was in the Union army and the Confederates raided the place, burning their cabin and taking away their stock. Mrs. Sivey often recalled how they came to Kansas with the adults walking and the children riding on featherbeds on backs of mules. She was a member of the Christian chruch at Iola. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the Cheney Memorial chapel with the Rev. Wilbert Dunlap officiating. Interment will be made in the Oak Grove cemtery.

    $1,600 Is Missing.
    Mary Sivey Had That Amount Before She Died.
    Sewed Up In Mattress.
    Was There Thirteen Days Before She Passed Away – Heirs are Investigating the Case.
    There is something of a mystery surrounding the disappearance of $1,633 from the estate of the late Mrs. Mary Sivey, the aged woman who died at her home on the north side on the 12th day of last month.
    It is claimed that the money was taken from the mattress upon which she died sometimes shortly before she died or directly thereafter. At any rate the money was there several days previous to her death and it is claimed that afterwards it suddenly disappeared. The original amount was $1,783, so the story goes, and when it was looked for after her death there was but $150 left. The case is being investigated and there may be some arrests or civil proceedings instituted by the administrator when one is appointed.
    It was not generally known that Mrs. Sivey was possessed of much of the world’s good, but J.R. Sivey, one of the heirs to the estate, who is up from Pittsburg investigating the matter gives out the statement that his mother had a large amount of money. According to his story she had $1,783 secreted in the mattress of her bed and that it was sewed up securely so that it would have been impossible for any common burglar to have stolen it. He is authority for the statement that the money was there thirteen days before his aged mother died and that afterwards it suddenly disappeared. That was the last he and other member of the family saw of the roll of greenbacks, the money all being in bills of small denominations, the largest said to be $20. He also says that he and three of his brothers, C.M., R.C. and Scott Sivey saw the money in the mattress when they realized that their mother could not live, and that it was replaced in the same position that it was when found. On the same day of the funeral he says, they went to look after the personal effects and the money and discovered to their surprise that all by $150 of the money had been taken. He says he has his suspicions but in the absence of any proof he cannot make any direct charges. The pocket book in which the money was secreted was found in the loft of the house where she died.
    The deceased had nine children and all of them will come in for a share of the estate when it is divided they were up in Judge Cheney’s office last evening preparing the proofs of claims and making ready to apply for the appointment of an administrator of the small estate, and the matter of the missing money will be investigated.
