WE CAN REMEMBER---

The first woman member of the Manning school board was Mrs. Rita Swander, elected to that position in 1953. The second woman to serve was Mrs. Fredda Hinz, elected in 1955.

I CAN REMEMBER---

When on a Saturday afternoon some school boy, for the sum of 25c, would walk up and down Main street ringing a bell. He would grab the clapper to silence it, and yell, "Furniture sale at the Wyatt lots right away", or, "Horse and mule sale at the stockyards right away". It was the custom in the days before the hospital was built to hold most furniture sales on this vacant lot on Main street hoping to draw more public attention.

MUNDT


August Mundt

August and Eileen Mundt, both lifelong residents of the Manning area, live on their 240 acre farm four and three-quarters miles north of Manning.

Mrs. Mundt, formerly Eileen Rothfolk, was born and raised on a farm owned by her parents, James and Sophia Rothfolk. The Rothfolks moved to Manning from Minnesota around 1914. The Rothfolk farm, three and three-quarters miles south of Manning, is now owned by Eileen's brother and sister, Norman Rothfolk and Delores Fastji. Eileen's grandparents, August and Mary Grau and Peter and Emma Rothfolk, also lived in the Manning area.

August Mundt has lived his entire life on the same farmplace where he was born north of Manning. Eighty acres of the farm he now owns was originally purchased from the Iowa Railroad Land Company in 1873 by Claus Mundt (no direct relation). August's father Heinrich, later Henry, Sr., moved to Manning from near Schonberg in the Holstein region of Germany in the late 1800's. He bought the land from Claus Mundt in 1898. Since August bought the land in 1957, the land has now been in the same family for 82 years and has been under the Mundt name for well over 100 years; August bought the land in the early 1970's.

One of the buildings on the Mundt farmplace has a historic background. In 1959, August bought the old Northwestern Railroad depot in Manning, had it dismantled and rebuilt on his farm, where it's now used as a garage.

In the 1920s and 1930s, August "witched" and tested for water and dug water wells throughout the rural Manning area; many of the wells are still in use. Initially, the wells were dug by hand; but in 1931, the work was made easier when August bought a horse-operated well-digger. In the mid 1940's, August also served as director of Washington Township School District #9.

August and Eileen married in 1938. They have five children: Lenus in California, Paul in Tennessee, Janis in Nebraska, Lyle in South Dakota, and Larry of Clarinda.

In 1871 he and his brother Joachim rented a farm in section 14 of Washington Township and moved here in December of the same year.

Henry Mundt and Christine Hass were united in marriage in October, 1875. To this union seven children were born, of which two passed away in infancy. The remaining children were: Gustav of Glidden; Herman of Cozad, NE; Ferdinand of Viola, WI; Augusta of Waterloo; and John of Manning. The happiness of this family was saddened when the mother passed away in 1887.

In 1888 Mr. Mundt was united in marriage to Anna Ewoldt, who had immigrated to America also. Claudius and Amanda (Mrs. Albert Puck) are the children born to this couple.

In 1904 Mr. Mundt retired from active farm life and purchased a home on Ann Street. He enjoyed his retirement by visiting with old cronies and taking long walks every day. Since he had watched Manning grow from the virgin prairie into a productive farming center, he had many stories to relate. He truly was a pioneer citizen.

WE CAN REMEMBER---

If a member of a family got a communicable disease such as scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria the entire family would be placed under quarantine. The city marshal would come to the Monitor and they would print a sign with the word "quarantined" in black six-inch type on a yellow 8x22 card with the name of the disease in smaller letters above it. This would be fastened to the front of the home and no one could enter or leave the house during the time of sickness.

During his later years he lived in a cave or but in the side of the old Milwaukee railroad bank several hundred yards northwest of the present Casey's Store. He had been doing chores for Mrs. Eden at the Virginia Cafe and when he failed to appear one day she notified Marshal Brandhorst, who investigated and found him dead in his shack. His nephews, Emil and John Brehmer, took the body to Hartley, Iowa, for burial. Potato John was so named because each year he raised a patch of potatoes.
