At 24 years of age, with her arents, she emigrated to America and settled in Read Township.

Her husband died in 1901. This union was blessed with 4 children of which one died in infancy. The surviving children are, Mrs. Fred Koelke, August Mahnke and Mrs. John Kliefoth, one sister, Mrs. Johanna Baade and one brother, Mr. John Hoth also mourn her departure with 24 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren. Her age was 74 years and 14 days. The funeral was held Wednesday September 17, at 11 a.m. from the home and in the church, Rev. Athenstadt officiating. The deceased was a kind and good woman, and as such she was loved and respected by all who knew her. One of the greatest pleasures of her life was to help others and even when the failings of old age crept upon her more and more she still was busy in the performance of neighborly tasks, almost until the last. There was no selfishness in her life. She seemed more concerned in the welfare of others, her friends and neighbors and those nearest and dearest to her, than in her own. She fully lived up to the philosophy of Pittacus of Mitylene, who said, "Do not do that to your neighbor, which you would be unwilling for him to do to you." Here in Read on her little homestead outside of the strife and turmoil of the world in pursuit of her daily toil she lived a quite and unassuming life, content and patient to wait for the day when He would call her. Mrs. Mahnke had been troubled with asthma in recent years and this developed into pneumonia and on Sunday afternoon, September 14, 1919, after a five day illness she passed away, to join the innumerable throng in the land from which no traveler returns, there to behold the towers and minarets of Emanuel's land.
