Following an illness of about a year's duration, Mr. John Frahm resident of Carroll county for fifty years, forty-three of which were spent in Manning, died at his home here on Fourth street on Tuesday evening, May 28, at about the Midnight hour, at the age of 62 years and ten months within a day. Born in Clinton, Iowa, July 29, 1877, Mr. Frahm, with his parents, Detlef and Anna Frahm, moved to Carroll County, Iowa, when he was three years old, settling on a farm four and a half miles north of Manning. On this farm Mr. Frahm's father was called to the Great Beyond and Mrs. Frahm and children continued managing their farm work successfully.

Mrs. Frahm joined hands in holy matrimony with Mr. Johannes Hansen and they continued farming on the same place and later moved to a farm near Botna. At this place they farmed until 1891 when Mr. Hansen and family moved to Manning where they purchased a business and Mr. Frahm assisted his stepfather for a number of years. He later accepted a position with C.H. Reinholdt in the hardware business, which position be kept until 1901 when he purchased the business of Claus Eden and formed a partnership with, Carl Voss. This firm was active in business and widely known for many years until the prohibition law broke up many homes and businesses that were organized under the Mulct law in Iowa.

Mr. Frahm was married to Miss Minnie Reimer on September 6th, 1900, to which union four children were born: Hilda, Mrs. Bert Petersen of Manning; Edward of Puerto Rico; Florence, Mrs. Wallace Sickler of Minneapolis, Minn.; and Raymond, of Los Angeles, Calif., who are left besides his bereaved wife to mourn his passing.

His mother passed away on June 21, 1907, at the Great Western Park near Manning, after which his stepfather left for Germany, where he passed away in 1936.

Following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Frahm started house keeping in South Manning where they lived one year. They then moved to the north part of town to live another year and then purchased their comfortable home on Fourth Street where they lived since.

When prohibition was enacted Mr. Frahm started a soft drink parlor in which business he remained until the very end.

He was a good friend to have and he had a host of friends. The Chamber of Commerce, Manning, 3-Mile House and 5-Mile House Schuetzen Verein, of which he was a member, and other organizations always found him a willing worker and liberal giver.
