I made very high resolution scans of the pages. For the most part, if the print was crooked on the page I left it that way but I did slightly adjust some of the pages that were printed
very crooked.
Generally I make things square to the world but in some cases like this I scan as is to show the item as it is in the original form.
Someday I envision doing some restoration and then making a new print of this booklet, but for now here are 29 of the 64 total pages.
I'm so glad Chuck sent these items to me to scan so they were digitized. So many times people will send old items to local groups or individuals connected to Manning and then I never hear about them, so they don't get digitized. Eventually I know some of those items will get lost or thrown away after they are sent to other organizations or individuals.
Anything sent to me will be placed in a future Manning Museum.
Take the time to read all of the information and absorb the amazing history in front of you on your computer screen.
Below: Silas Priest was one of Manning's Civil War Veterans - he is buried in the Manning Cemetery.
For most of the pages I cropped off the edges, but here are 2 complete pages that show
some edge damage...
Most of the pages are in good to very good shape - just some edge damage
For this next booklet, I'll show just some of the other material I have in my immense database that will provide more information for some of the 1926 ads...
I keep going out of my way spending extra time with these web features to try to encourage more people with Manning connected pictures and history to contact me and get me their old stuff to scan.
Edward Farrell
Edward Farrell, 17th regiment Spanish American War
Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery
Ed & Theresia Farrell - from the Voge/Lamp collection
Thanks to Gerhardt Voge who steered me to the fact that Ed Farrell was a Veteran. Gerhardt couldn't remember which war specifically but told me a very important factoid: Ed told Gerhardt that he was a war prisoner and was drug behind a horse as torture.
Gerhardt's daughter, Ann, also helped a lot by finding where Ed was buried and some more information about him.
The 17th Regiment lost heavily in killed and wounded in the Spanish-American War, where it participated in the battles of El Caney and Santiago, and many of the officers and men were decorated for conspicuous bravery in action.
Not sure of order: Winfried, Ruby, Elsie, Cecilia, Fern, William
William married Elsie Rogers, Ruby was Lyle Schrum's mother, Cecelia married Si Nickum
This is a scan from a paper copy from the Lyle Schrum collection...
I hope someday I can get an original to scan.
