E-mail: dory@touchtown.org 		Hi Dave, What a great job you have done and are still doing. You once asked me if I had taught school in Manning-I did not. I am the only heir left of Jurgen @ Anna Hinz. Dad was director of Ewold Twnsp #2 school for 18 years. I don't know if he ever got any pay for that but I do remember every August we loaded up brooms, mops, cleaning rags & etc and en masse we went up to that school & scrubbed it clean. Who taught there? - I remember Captolia Heinrichs Greteman, her sister Margaret Butterworth (for a short time & a "sub")

E-mail: virbork@yahoo.com 		If you have not found the homestead records online, they are very intresting.
Many of them give the complete document online. The kind of thing we use to have to mail to the government and send money for.
glorecordsBLM.gov patent search If it doesn't come up, put it in your search engine.
There were 20 Kusel's and that didn't count the married daughters.

E-mail: virbork@yahoo.com 		My son Douglas and I just got back from the Dakotas.
We drove out to the Kusel homestead near Vale, SD.
They have built a new bridge just east of Vale and about where the lane that goes over cattle guard gates and across pastures starts. This is about 3 miles. There is little left to see.
We did not go down to the Martens place because ruts were so deep. A pickup would work best.
One person didn't want to buy a new guard gate
so he put up a gate to get out and open.

E-mail: pennysweeney@gfschools.org 		Hello! I'm planning to visit Manning and my parent's and grandparent's graves in Hayes Township Cemetery. I am the grand daughter of Albert and Alma Schroeder who were long time farmers in the area. They did move to town upon retirement. My parents, Burdette and Rose Ann (Beebe) Schroeder began their married life in rural Manning as well. My parents ended up in Carroll, Iowa. That is where I call home, although I fondly remember staying with grandpa and grandma in Manning and finding out more about the old German ways.

E-mail: maddog_3@charter.net 		Dave, My grandparents lived in Manning and I remember going to the park and playing on some of the same equipment that's still there! My grandpa used to work in the park and I would go with him as a little girl. My grandparents were Alfred and Wilda David. I would be interested to hear from people who knew them and can tell me stories about them.
