The funeral of Mrs. Eve Manierre Dawson, wife of George E. Dawson, former attorney for the Chicago Sanitary District, was held Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock from her late residence, 552 Elm street, Winnetka.

She was an accomplished pianist and an active worker for women’s suffrage.

Besides her husband and her son in Winnetka, she is survived by another son, Manierre Dawson of Ludington, Mich., one sister Mrs. Charles Ware of Kenilworth, and two brothers, Dr. John T. Manierre of Chicago, and George W. Manierre of Pasadena.
