"More information has been received on Iva Venus Mankin, and early-day Lincolnite who died Nov 13 in Cedarville, Modoc County.
Mrs. Mankin, 82, nicknamed Deanie, was the sister of Lura Fower, a longtime rural Lincoln resident. Mrs. Mankin was the daughter of West Virginia pioneers Alexander Stafford and Loventia Alderson Stafford. The grave of Iva's grandmother Stafford bears a state historical marker indicating that she was the first white woman to settle in a section of what was then the Commonwealth or Virginia.
While still a child, Iva's family moved to Lincoln. She attended the old Fruitvale School in rural Lincoln and later returned to teach there. She was a graduate of Lincoln High School and continued her education at the University of California at Berkeley, where she graduated in 1922. She stayed for a fifth year to get a teaching credential.
After one year of teaching at Fruitvale, she became a teacher in Feather Falls, Butte County, where she met John Hayes Mankin, also a native of West Virginia. They were married in June, 1927, in the Stafford family home outside of Lincoln. The home is still the residence of Mrs. Mankin's sister Lura.
Mrs. Mankin was a highly regarded teacher, working in the Surprise Valley schools.
A person of many and varied interests, she was especially noted for her work at the Fort Bidwell Indian reservation, her antiques and artifacts collection.
Mrs. Mankin is survived by her husband, John of Fort Bidwell; a daughter, Sara Jane Minto of Eagleville; her sister, Lura Fowler of rural Lincoln; two grandaughters; five great-grandchildren; one neice and two nephews, Richard Stafford and Ivan Stafford, both of Lincoln."
