Line Klara (Clara) Bahr Zimmer

History of the Clara Bahr Family in America.

Klara Bahr (born 22.3.1850 in Trebenz) was the daughter of Johannes Bahr and his first wife Klara. Klara is married in 1873 to Joseph Zimmer still in the old country - Sumvald, Austria.
In 1875 a group of Moravians left the villages of Unter/Oberlangendorf (Dlouha Loucka), Maehr. Truebenz (Brevenec), Schoenwald (Sumvald), Roemmerstadt (Rymarov), Jonsdorf and Pinkaute (Plinkout) to settle in Walnut and Grant Townships of Barton County, KS and eventually founding the town of Olmuetz, KS; now spelled Olmitz.
Josef Zimmer's wife Klara was the sister of Josef Bahr. Klara with her husband Joseph and Joseph Bahr travel on a ship Schiller in 1875 with the Bahrs emigrating from Truebenz. Hamburg via Cherbourg to New York 14 April 1875.

We are interested in following the family line. Augusta Zimmer's daughter Clara is married to Charles Joseph Maneth brother Ferdinand Charles Maneth.
Family Maneth: Ferdinand C. Maneth was born in Austria March 7, 1872, and came to Barton Countywith 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.
Son of Augusta and Charles, Leonard Edward Manet married with Marcella Riedel(born 12.4.1929) Marcela Riedel belongs to the American line of the family Riedl A02
