I'm occasionally adding the actual scanned image of the obituary I make using my VERY expensive - large commercial scanner, and/or also other articles about the deceased person that were published in the Manning Monitor.
I want to also comment about people who are taking my obituaries, pictures, and/or other articles about a person/family and posting them on other websites.
You do NOT have permission or the right to do this - you are stealing my historical work.
Buy your own scanning equipment, pay for memberships to other commercial websites, and spend decades working on your local history like I have - then you'll understand why I'm making these comments!

The songs "My Father Knows", "Rock Of Ages", "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere", and "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder" were sung by a quartette comprising Mrs. W.E. Deur, Mrs. A.J. Hazelhoff, A.B. Canady and W.F. Brower, with Miss Blanche Purchase as the pianist. In the first named song, the verses were sung as a solo by Mrs. Deur and the chorus by the quartette.

Carl Detlef Grau was born September 2, 1858, at Großenaspe, Neumünster, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, being one of the nine children of Mr. and Mrs. Detlef and Sophia (Sachleben) Grau. At the age of nine years, he emigrated to the United States with his parents, who first located in Davenport, Iowa, and then moved to Wheatland, Clinton County, where they resided a couple of years. From there the family moved to Westside, Crawford County, which they made their home for one year, and settled on a farm 5 3/4 miles north of Manning, where Mr. Grau lived until his marriage at the age of 22 years to Miss Magdalena Moller, a recent emigrant from Germany, at Carroll, the marriage taking place on November 5, 1880. The couple went to housekeeping the next spring on a farm 6 miles southeast of Arcadia, which was their home for 19 years. In 1900, they moved to Lake View, living in town for five years before moving on a farm one mile west of town. At the end of six years spent on this farm, they returned to town, residing since that time in the house which has since been their home.

Besides his wife, there is left to mourn him one daughter, Annie, wife of John Meister, of Manning, who, together with the widow, survive him. There are also five grandchildren, Carl, Everett, Magdalena, Annie and John. The first-named was adopted by the Graus as their son and has made his home with them since infancy. The deceased gentleman is also survived by one brother, Henry Grau of Manning, and numerous other relatives.

In June of 1925, Mr. and Mrs. Grau and Carl made a trip to Germany, where Mr. Grau during a three-months stay had the pleasure of visiting his old home and many other familiar scenes.

He was a man of kindly character and friendly temperament, and will be missed by his family as well as by many friends, acquaintances and neighbors.
