Amanda, daughter of Marx and Christina (Vehrs) Schrum, was born November 30, 1890, in Hayes Township, Crawford County, Iowa. She attended country schools near her home. Amanda continued to live with her parents on a farm until they moved into Manning in 1923. She worked in homes of various people in Manning until 1943 when she stayed home to care for her mother until her mother's death in 1945.

In 1975 Amanda moved into the Elm Crest Apartments where she continued in good health until she broke her leg and entered the Manning General Hospital on October 21, 1985. She remained in the hospital until December 24, 1985, when she moved into the Jefferson Manor Nursing Home, Jefferson, Iowa where she died on Friday, January 3, 1986, at the age of 95 years, 1 month, and 4 days.

Amanda was baptized and confirmed in 1927 at the Zion Lutheran Church in Manning where she continued to be a faithful member until her death.
