From the Pineville Democrat, June 8, 1906
M. N. LaMance is Dead
Mr. M. N. LaMance died at his home, beautiful Oak Lawn, in Pineville, Monday morning at 7 o'clock. He had been ill for over 14 weeks, but at one time about three weeks ago he was thought to be recovering and everyone was glad to think that his life would be spared, but a relapse came that took him away. His first illness was fever, but the last illness was very puzzling to the attending physician. A post-mortem examination was made and it was then discovered that death was caused by a hardening of the liver and pancreas.
Marcus Newton Wallace LaMance was born at Saratoga, McDonald County, Missouri, October 16, 1844 and died in Pineville, Missouri June 4, 1906. He was one of the oldest, if not oldest, native born citizens of McDonald County. All of his life with the exception of five years spent in California in early childhood, and two years spent in the war serving as a Confederate soldier, enlisting from Pineville, was spent in McDonald County.
He came to Pineville in 1858 and lived here until his death. He was engaged in the mercantile business for forty consecutive years. He hauled the first load of lumber to be used in building the first house in Southwest City.
Mr. LaMance served the public with honor to himself and McDonald County. He acted as assistant postmaster for ten years and was postmaster for ten years. He served as County Treasurer for four terms or eight years. He was Secretary of the Masonic Lodge for over 30 years and at the time of his death was the democratic nominee for County Treasuer.
In 1880 he married Lora S. Nichols and to this happy union one child, Lora, who is now the wife of Jos. C. Watkins, of Galena, Missouri, was born.
As a merchant and business man Mr. LaMance was always courteous, accommodating and conscientious in all his dealings. As an officer he was ever found true to the trust the people bestowed upon him. As a husband and father he was affectionate and kind. He idolized his wife and daughter and was never happier than when in their company in the family home. He was a man of the true christian spirit and died with abiding faith in his Savior. His was a well spent life and it was much better for our county and town that his useful life was spent here. By his death the family loses a loving husband and the county and town a good, moral, upright and honored citizen.
The funeral and burial services were conducted by the Masonic Lodge of which order he was an honored member. The funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. M. Larkin of the Methodist Church and the remains were interred in the Pineville Cemetery at eleven o'clock Tuesday.
The deceased leaves a wife, daughter, two brothers, a sister and other relatives to mourn his departure. The DEMOCRAT, in behalf of the many friends of the bereaved ones extends to them sincere sympathy in this sad hour.
A second obituary added the funeral was conducted by Rev. J. P. Caldwell and M. Larkin and by the beautiful rites of the Masonic lodge his body was consigned to the earth in the presence of one of the largest crowds of sympathizing friends ever assembled there.
