Word had been received that Orlo Schelldorf, age 80, and a long-time resident of Manning, died in a Sacramento, California hospital September 2, 1980.

He was born and raised in Manning and after finishing school he became associated with his father in the pharmacy business. After the drug store closed, he operated an electric and appliance shop until 1948 when he and his family moved to Sacramento. For many years, while still a resident of Manning, he served the town as city clerk.

For 14 years he was a leasing agent for the Western Pacific R.R. Co. and also worked as a property manager. He held this position until he retired.

He was a fifty year member of the Masonic Fraternity, AF and AM, No. 450, Manning, Iowa.

Memorial services were held September 5 at 1:00 p.m. in A.J. Nicoletti Funeral Home, the Masonic Fraternity officiating with the assistance of the Rev. David MacNurds. The organist was Ann Hoffeditz and the interment was in East Lawn Cemetery.

He is survived by his wife, Mary, and his daughter, Mrs. Ruth Schaitz, both of Sacramento.

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
