MARTIN BRUNNIER DEAD.
When the news that Martin Brunnier had passed from this earth last Thursday,
December 26 a feeling of sadness fell over the town for in his death there was
a loss of one of its best citizens. For years he had been so closely connected,
with the city's growth, and such a friend to all that his departure was mourned
by every citizen. Since1889 he has with his brothers been in business in
Manning and few were the people of Manning and vicinity who did not know him.
For the past five years he has been town clerk and his books are a record of
neatness and accuracy. He was also president of the Liederkranz and his memory
will be long cherished by the members of that organization. He was born at Altona,
Germany, March 3, 1860, and when fourteen years of
age came to this country with his parents to Davenport where they remained a
few months, moving to Benton County where they lived two years. Then they moved
to Carroll County residing on a farm for some time. In 1889 he came to Manning
and began working in the mercantile business, continuing until his death.
To mourn his untimely death are the following, a bereaved widow, Caroline (Meyer), a son, Henry of San Francisco; a daughter, Catherine of Manning; and three brothers, Henry of Grass Valley, California; Emil of Mobile, Alabama; and Julius of Manning. Besides these he leaves a host of personal friends who sincerely mourn his death, and who extend the hand of sympathy to the sorrowing family and relatives.

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
