The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. W. Mantach will regret to learn that their son Leslie is in a critical condition from pneumonia.
The Advocate 5th June 1909
The serious illness of Leslie Mantach, mentioned in Saturday’s “Advocate”, has, unfortunately, had a fatal termination. The deceased, who was in his 21st year, was a twin son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Mantach, of Gunn Street. He was a smart, active lad, and was for a while employed in the “Advocate” office, leaving it to enter the employ of Mr. J. M. Smith, butcher. Taking advantage of the half-holiday on Wednesday, May 26, he went out for an afternoon’s shooting, and becoming warm hurrying home on his bike he caught a chill crossing on the ferry, but remained at work until the Saturday evening, when his condition required the attendance of a medical man. His illness developed in double pneumonia, and despite the attendance of Drs. Payne and Addison and skilled nursing he passed away yesterday morning. Much sympathy is expressed for the parents and family. The funeral will take place in the Don Cemetery this afternoon.

Funeral of Leslie Mantach
There was a very large attendance at the funeral of Leslie Mantach yesterday afternoon. The cortege was a lengthy one when it left the parents’ residence in Gunn Street, headed by members of the Oddfellows’ Lodge, whilst immediately after the hearse was led the horse which deceased used to ride at his work. The principal mourners were deceased’s father, three brothers and two sisters, with his uncles, Mr. H. Murfet and Messrs. R. and G. Scolyer. A special feature was the large number of young men in the procession, a fact which testified to the popularity of the departed youth. Arrived at the Don Cemetery the religious service was conducted by the Revs. F. J. Miles and Stewart Byron, each making pointed and touching reference to the deceased and the necessity of living true lives. The N.G., Bro. A. J. Donnelly, read the Oddfellows’ ritual, and all the brethren as they filed passed the open grave deposited a sprig of thyme upon the coffin. There was wealth of white wreaths and crosses, testifying to the respect in which the family are held. In another column Mr. and Mrs. Mantach return their sincere thanks to Drs. Addison and Payne, Nurses Robertson and Field, and many other friends for kindness shown to them during their recent time of trouble.
