As I continue to scan the Manning Monitor pages, and work on other family history, I find out about more obits I don't have and continue to find some of them.
So if you are interested in the people of Manning's past who made this into the great community it is - please take the time to read the recent obits I've been adding.
You might find out you are related to some of them and discover little anecdotal stories that may surprise you.

I also continue to visit with and work with people who have Manning pix & history. Some of them don't know what to do with their old Manning history and don't want to throw it away and they realize how many decades I've been working on this history, so they entrust those things with me to preserve and most importantly digitize which will carry on that history long after the old paper and other type materials fall into pieces and deteriorate.
There are a few individuals and groups who are also seeking that old Manning history but if you want your old Manning stuff properly preserved and archived, please contact me.
Here are a few examples of items that I've scanned recently - a couple of the items in which I digitally restored.
I'm the only one locally who has the commercial equipment and software and decades of know-how, and will take the time to digitally scan and in many cases repair/restore those items.

You may also have pix & other old history that you have no idea who they are or if there is a Manning connection...I'll have the best chance in connecting whether or not those items have a Manning connection since I'm not a newcomer to working on Manning's history.

John's mother...

I was visiting with Susan (Zubrod) Hinners and she told me she had these items, and she graciously let me take them home to scan and restore.

The bottom of the poster was gone, so I digitally restored it.

Then my cousin, Jon Ahrendsen, who worked at the M&I Dehy, gave me this decal he had kept for over 50 years.
It needed digital repair and below you see the original and cleaned up version.
