JULIUS BAHR CALLED
October 15, 1914 Manning Monitor

Last Friday Mr. and Mrs. John Bahr were saddened and terribly shocked when they found his brother, Julius Bahr, dead in the field where he had been working. It seems that the young man, who had been working for Mr. Bahr, and recently hurt himself lifting. He had been assisting in the making of a fence, and that day Mr. Bahr told him to not work as he was going over to Aspinwall. But the young man being of industrious disposition thought he was able to work and when found was lying beside the fence he was building. Kind hands at once carried the young man to the Bahr home.

Julius Bahr was born February 14, 1882, at Fehmarn, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and died at Manning, Iowa, October 9, 1914, aged 32 years, 7 months, and 25 days.

In 1894, when he was 12 years of age, he and his sister, Karolina, arrived in America, expecting to make this their future home.

He leaves to mourn his death, his father, Nicholas Bahr, and two sisters, Katherina and Agnes, of Germany; a brother, John, of Manning, Iowa; a brother, Peter, of Dow City; also a brother, Max, at Ute, Iowa; and a sister, Minnie, of Ute and a sister Dora at Dunlap, Iowa. His mother died in Germany, February 9, 1910, and his sister, Karolina died June 9, 1913, in Idaho.

Julius was a fine young man. He was honest, hard working and well liked by all who knew him. He was one of the members of the M.W.A. Lodge of Manning, and carried an insurance policy of $2000 in that order.

Sunday the funeral was held and the entire services were conducted by the officers of the M.W.A. Lodge. Those who were present say the services were beautiful, not ...

Douglas Rogers had charge of the services and the family, relatives, and friends feel very grateful to him for his efforts in conducting the M.W.A. services and directing his fellow Woodmen in showing a high respect for their departed comrade.

The Manning Gesangverein and Liederkranz orders were also present to pay their last sad respects to the deceased, and their singing touched the hearts of all present. Burial took place at the Manning Cemetery.

Thus another young man leaves us. One consolation remains, he lived a clean life and now rests in the land above where he awaits the coming of his relatives and friends.
