BERNHARDT H. STUHR
1895-1918


Bernhardt Stuhr was born February 19, 1895, at Minden. At the age of eight, he moved with his parents, C.H. and Emma Juels Stuhr, to Manning. Here, he attended country school and two years of high school.
Bernhardt enjoyed sports, and helped his father farm before entering the service in early September, 1918.

He was in Company 46, 12th Batallion, 163 Depot Brigade. Corporal Stuhr died of the flu at Camp Dodge, Iowa, October 8, 1918. He was not the first Manning man to die in World War I, but was the first to be returned for burial in the Manning Cemetery. Services were held in the old Opera House, and Mayor Ed Farrell issued a proclamation asking that all public businesses be closed during the day.

He had an adopted sister, Mrs. Mildred Lyden, who lived in Manning.
