MANKE, MANKEY, FILTER (3 Nov 2001)
Requesting information on the names MANKE/MANKEY and FILTER. My
grandfather Albert MANKE arrived in Creighton Twnshp about 1879 at
the age of 8 with his parents Fredrick and Charlotte (REICHWALDT)
from WI and previously from W. Prussia.
His brothers and sisters include Fredrick B. (later married to
Bertha REPENNING), Adelina (later married to Chris REPENNING),
Herman, Emil, and John. Fredrick MANKE was a farmer and also
Fredrick B. and Emil. although I have quite a bit of info on
grandfather Albert, I have next to no information on his family
except what I have found in 1880 census and 1885 State census.
My grandmother Emilie/Amelia FILTER MANKE seems to have been
adopted/taken in (this had been a family rumor) by William and
Hanna/Johanna (Drager) sometime between 1880 and 1885. She was not
listed on the 1880 census when she would have been 8 but was listed
on the 1885 state census as age 12. They were also the parents of
August C. and William. There may also have been a son Charles and
there is also a Carl FILTER in the picture although how related I
don't know. I do not know when they arrived in Creighton Twnshp
where they farmed. William the son later also farmed.
August C. and Ernest F. FILTER (a cousin) later operated a large
variety store in Bloomfield. Query dated 11/3/01
