BIOGRAPHIES OF
Josephine Leute and Anton Manahl
The following experts are taken from a Leute/Link/Manahl genealogy booklet researched and written by Vernon Auderer in 1985.
Anton was born on Jan 7, 1816 in the village Schruns which is in the upper valley of Ill River called Montafon, located in the Voralberg Province of Austria. He was baptized Franz Anton Manahl in the same church as his ancestors were for some 300 years, back to the year 1600. His father was Josef Manahl, born June 8, 1777. His mother was Elizabeth Brugger, born Aug 28, 1776. Joseph Manahl died in 1857. This information was supplied by Robert Manahl of Evansdale, Iowa.
Anton migrated to America in the year 1844, landing at New Orleans. After a short stay he moved to St. Louis. In 1846, he finished his trip up the Mississippi River to Dubuque. There was a good friend named Godfried Canahl who may also have made the trip with him and perhaps, another man named George Canal.
Anton Manahl, filed his intention to become a United States citizen on November 2, 1847 with the clerk of the District Court, Isaac P. Van Hagan of Dubuque County in the State of Iowa. On May 10, 1850, Anton Manahl and his friend George Canahl, took the oath of citizenship in open court in Dubuque District Court of Iowa.
After his arrival in Dubuque, Anton met a certain Josephine Leute and in 1847 they were married, most likely in St. Raphael's Church as this was the only Catholic Church in Dubuque at the time. They were blessed with 9 children. They also raised another child by the name of Henrich Mack. This child may have been a relative of the Leute's , as a cousin go the Leute's also came over. Anyway, the father of this boy, asked Anton and Josephine if they would raise this child. Perhaps the boys' mother had died. Seems that this boy turned out to have been somewhat of a problem, as they did not tell him the fact that he was not a real member of the family, and finally Henry found out from his school mates. When he was about 17 yrs old, which would have been in 1867, he took off to California to join the gold rush. He apparently did find some. But for some reason he died at an early age, sometime after his foster father, Anton's death. The children tried to collect five collars a piece so as to send someone to California to check on his estate, but could not get enough money together so someone could go. Henry did not marry as far as it Is known.
Anton's occupation was as stone mason in the Dubuque area. He built or helped build a number of stone buildings on Jackson Street and through out the. city. Anton died on a Sunday afternoon in his home at 1756 Jackson St. He had been sick for about a year and confined to bed for 2 months. Anton and Josephine were members of St. Mary's Church in Dubuque. They were buried in a German Catholic Temerity which is now known as Mt. Calvary.
