Hi David. My father, now deceased, is Cyril Kusel. My mother, Sharon Kusel. I was seeking information on Julius Abraham and Sarah Kusel, which my brother Aaron has portaits of. Many thanks to you for keeping the family tree. I guess I am the one to do that for my family. Also, my brother has a framed certificate of sorts that would indicate that there is a German Baron with the Kusel name in our history. Thanks again!

Dave, I'm so sorry to hear of the shocking news about Barry. He was one of the good guys who will be missed by so many. My deepest sympathies.

Hope your harvest is going well back there. It sure is a busy time out here as the beans are just about all in. We don't have soybeans out here, pretty well all dry edibles (navies, pintos, great northerns and others) but most of them are cut and windrowed and combined off the ground. Some farmers are starting to harvest them direct but I don't know what the loss would be. Sugar beet harvest is in full swing but with this unusual heat, they have held up a little on them. Corn harvest is just getting a good start as it's still pretty high moisture. We haven't had a hard freeze yet but may get one the first of the week. Wheat did pretty well this year. We've had a very good year as far as moisture goes but not an over abundance of it like it sounda like you have.

I was just advised of my dear friend, John Pratt's, death and have viewed the wonderful memorial on your web page. John and Joan were a wonderful couple and John will be missed by all of his Dixieland Retirement Family.

All my love and condolences to the family.

Hi Dave! My son and daughter-in-law recently purchased the old pink stucco house at 311 Third Street. I am helping them research the history of this house and would love to find old photos of the house back from it's glory days. Mike and Robin (Heaton) have plans to restore their home to what is used to be while preserving the wonderful features that lead them to purchasing it in the first place. If you have any info on this glorious house please let me know! I also have Renee at the library checking on history. Thanks so much! -Beth Heaton

I always enjoy the information you post about Manning. My G-grandparents, William and Maria Voss Pencker lived in Manning. My grandfather, a Baak, married one of the Pencker daughters. Reading about Manning helps me in my family research and somehow makes me feel closer to them.

Wonderful to see info and pictures of Ol Mease. Oliver Ulysses Mease was my great grand uncle. Born 1866 Stephenson County,Illinois. Committed suicide 1927 by hanging himself in his barn. He raised Percheron horses and is listed as owning several in the Percheron stud archives. It is nice to see a picture of him with one of his horses. He had no children of his own. His father, mother and most of his siblings settled in the Ozarks. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information!
