Some historical perspective to this and two other adjacent homes in this block.
Letter sent to John Ohde sometime in the 1980s
Dear Owners of 304 Ann Street:
My grandfather & grandmother, James L. & Emeline Hall, built the house in the 1890s.
I was going thru Manning on May 2nd, and stopped at the
cemetery first to visit the Hall graves then drove by the house and also
stopped hoping to get a "glimpse" inside --- no one home.
The front porch replacement, looks beautiful as does the outside of the home ---- really a nice feeling, knowing that someone cares about the place.
Tho't perhaps you might like a print of one of the
older scenes, showing their 2nd lot and the old barn on it.
The prints were very yellowed so the copies were filtered blue and printed on color paper.
Also their daughter Azubah (Hall) Pollock, owned and built the 2nd home
next to yours (310 Ann)
and my parents, Frank & Ida (Hall) Kemp owned the 3rd house (316
Ann) on the same block. I think this one partly burned and it was
completely rebuilt. The 2nd one over looks just the same as it did years ago.
My grandmother died in 1933 and her daughter Azubah
lived in the house until her death in 1938. The last time I was in the place
was possibly April 1938. It was rented a year or so and finally sold to Mrs. Navin then I lost track.
Remembering from my childhood visits there one of the "wonders" was the
"water-fall" toilet in the basement. The water was in a big container above the
stool and you pulled the chain and you heard a "water-fall". It was fun!
My sister Helen Schrank and I hope to decorate the
graves this summer sometime and possibly could we stop and just have a glimpse in the home?
Keep the prints.
Most sincerely, Jim Kemp
Jim signed his name as Kemp, but I'm wondering if maybe his family dropped the "f" as Kempf is the spelling for the Manning families of the past.
