FERDNAND C. MANETH

FERDNAND C. MANETH was born in Austria March 7, 1872, and came to Barton County
with his parents when he was six years of age. This was in 1878 and his father
took up land in Walnut township and he was one of the men who had so much to do
with the development of that part of Barton County. His father's name was
Ferdnand Vincent Maneth and up until the time of his death in 1906 was one of
the best known men in this part of the state. The younger Maneth now farms his
home place consisting of 320 acres of good land. Mr. Maneth was married to Miss
Anna Cook October 25, 1893, and they are the parents of six children as follows:
Fred, 12 years; Anna, 10 years; Henry 9 years; William, 6 years; Mary 3 years
and Louise, 6 months of age. The residence consists of eight rooms in addition
to bath, closets, etc., and is surrounded by shade trees and an orchard covering
about an acre of ground and containing trees of several varieties of fruits
common to this section of the country. The barn is 32 by 76 feet in dimensions
and is arranged for taking care of a large number of animals. The Maneth family
is one of the best known in Barton County on account of the fact that they came
here at a time when the county was being developed and just emerged from the
frontier stage. This family passed through the hard times of the 80's and had
much to do with the work of making this county one of the best in the State of
Kansas and one of the leading agricultural sections of the world. Mr. Maneth's
mother lives with him and his brother on the home place which is one of the most
attractive farms in the county. Mr. Maneth always maintains a good grade of
cattle and horses and gives personal attention to all his farming work. He has
learned the farming business by experience and is one of the successful young
farmers of that part of the county.
