C.C. (Claus) Dammann was born in Betzdolf Schleswig, Holstein Germany on November 13, 1865. His date of death is December 18, 1940. He is buried in the Manning Cemetery.
He married Anna Biehl on April 8, 1893. They bought a farm south east of Manning and lived there until they retired to Manning. His son Julius and family moved to that farm. He bought a second farm and his son Eddie and family lived there.
C. C. emigrated to the United States in 1892 as he did not want to be inducted into the armed services. Later he took the name CC as there was another Claus Dammann in the area.

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!
Thank you for your attention to this matter - Dave Kusel
