↑Wagga Wagga Advertiser (NSW) Tue, 9 Aug 1892, Page 2 The death is announced of Mr. William Manns, of Wagga, in his 94th year. The deceased, who was the father of Mrs. John Yabsley, of Wagga, was an old resident of this town, and was also well-known in the Adelong and Gundagai districts. Mr. Manns has been in very feeble health for years, and the immediate cause of his death was due to natural causes. For some time previous to his death he resided with his son-in-law, Mr. John Yabsley. Although he may not have been known to many persons in Wagga, yet his face was familiar to a number of regular pedestrians in Baylis-street, as he used to be seen frequently sunning himself in front of the Exchange Hotel during the time that hostelry was in the possession of Mr. Yabsley. The funeral will leave the residence of Mrs. John Yabsley, Tompson street, at 3 o'clock this afternoon, for the Wagga Cemetery.
