Again and again the angel of death entered our midst, and this time took the life of one of the most prominent businessmen in the town of Manning.
Another home is overshadowed with sorrow due to this departure and another family, wife and children are feeling the pang of death because of the loss of the one beloved. Our community was rather shocked Monday morning when the sad news spread of the sudden death of Mr. C. H. Reinholdt of this city, which occurred at the Carroll hospital, where he had been taken recently for a rest.
His family and friends never gave it a thought that his end could be so near when he left for the place of convalescence. Not only the direct family but the entire community sustains a great loss in the passing of Mr. Reinholdt, and it is therefor that the entire community bows in sorrow and extends its sincerest sympathy to the bereaved family.
Claus Henry Reinholdt was born December 4, 1855, in Wesselburen, Holstein, Germany, where he grew to manhood and received his education. In 1879 he left Germany and came to America to Benton County, Iowa. A year later he came to Westside, where he met Meves Schacht, owner of the five mile house. Later he went to Westside where he accepted a position as clerk for Whiteling & Evers.
At a later date he came to Manning where ho accepted a position with Henry Hoffmann, Sr., in the grocery and mercantile business. Holding that position for about a year, he purchased a half interest in the hardware firm of Smith & Martens. A few years later he purchased Mr. Martens' share and became sole owner.
In 1907, he formed a corporation with his sons, establishing the C.H. Reinholdt Co. He conducted this business for 46 years.
On February 27, 1883, he was married to Anna Hoffeins, to which union two children were born, John H. Reinholdt, Fort Dodge, and Harry C. Reinholdt, who with the bereaved wife mourn his death.
He also leaves two grandchildren, Woodrow and Doris Reinholdt of Manning; one brother in Germany, and many other relatives and friends.
He passed away at Carroll on Monday, July 15, at the age of 73 years, 7 months, 11 days.
Funeral services were held Wednesday, July 17, at 2 p.m. at the home, Rev. A.L. Howland officiating. Interment was made in the city cemetery.

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
