I'm going to make my usual tribute to someone connected to Manning and not until just now did I find in my database that Darlys sent me quite a few of her pictures to scan in 2007.
I'm so grateful now that she sent those items to me to scan.
I seldom remember anymore what I all have in my database since it has grown exponentially over the years.
Just below is a picture of Darlys from the Russ & Linda (Meggers) Frank collection. Linda's mother, Irene (Martens) Meggers, was a sister to Dorothy (Martens) Schrum.
If you love detailed history/genealogy about Manning and its citizens - Darlys' tribute shouldn't disappoint you.
I doubt you'll find detailed information about a specific community anywhere else on the Internet.
Even though there are a lot of pictures featured, I could add many more that are connected to Darly's family...but I have to stop somewhere.

In Honor of Darlys Jean (Schrum) Bauer
Passed away December 20, 2022

Henry Heesch immigrated to USA in 1854 and lived near Renville, MN and then near Minot, ND before moving to Manning to live with his daughter.

Notes on Manning cemetery records.
Henry Heesch is buried next to William G. Mergele
Dora Heesch Mergele is buried next to George Mergele (probably husband) and also Heinrich & Cathrine Schrum.
All of the above are buried in section A in rows 9 & 10.

Ruth Ohde of Manning who is a granddaughter of Ida Detlefs also has a Heesch connection.

On a family picture --- Ida Detlefs had an aunt Anna Heesch listed and also a grandpa Heesch from Germany. At this point the name of the grandfather is not known or what part of Germany he came from.

Ruth is looking up family information to see if she can determine more facts on her Heesch family tree.

Picture scanned from Anne (Tiefenthaler) Muhlbauer's collection - Ann's mother was Helen (Schrum), daughter of John and Emma (Heesch) Schrum so Anne is another "cousin" in this feature tribute to Darlys.
