Obituary of Albert Manning, January 24, 1952 Alder, Madison, MT
2 Alder Men Die in Blaze
Fire believed caused by a faulty oil stove, claimed the lives of two aged Alder men
Thursday morning and destroyed the inside of the trailer house in which they were
sleeping. Volunteer firemen quenched the flames before they had burned through to the
outside of the structure. Albert Manning, 68, a resident of Alder and Sheridan for 43
years, and Otto Roeber,69, a farm hand and general laborer, were believed to have
suffocated in the trailer house before the flames had gotten well under way.
Rescuers, after the flames had been beaten back, found the body of Roeber at the door
of the shack and surmised that he had been overcome while trying to open the door. The
body of Manning was on a bed and showed no signs that he had tried to arise. Relatives
said that Manning had a severe heart condition and might have been dead before the fire
started.
The blaze was discovered by James Miller, a school bus driver, as he delivered a bus
load of children to the Alder school a short distance from the trailer house. He saw smoke
coming from the structure and turned in a fire alarm. First to arrive at the scene was
Manning's son, Donald, and Paul Blaseg. They said that within a few minutes half the
population of Alder was on hand to help fight the blaze. The truck of the volunteer fire
department failed to start and the fire was controlled by a bucket brigade which brought
water from a stream near the house. The blaze was out within a few minutes.
Alder residents said the trailer house had caught fire Wednesday from a leak in the
oil stove but the fire was put out immediately. County Coroner, Charley Raper, who
investigated, said the appearance of the inside of the house indicated the blaze had
started at the stove. The inside of the house was badly charred.
Roeber, who has no family here, had been living alone in the trailer house, which had
been taken from it's undercarriage and set on the ground for the winter. Mr. Manning, who
lives near the center of Alder, had gone to Roeber's shack Wednesday night to visit. The
two were friends of long standing. It was believed they were still in bed when the fire
broke out.
Mr. Manning was born in Wellsville, Mo., May 7 1883. He came to the Ruby Valley in
1908 and for years worked as a section foreman on the Northern Pacific branch line in this
area. He retired a few years ago because of his health. He is survived by his widow in
Alder; a daughter, Ruth Barker of Los Angeles; four sons, Raymond of Twin Bridges, Donald
of Alder, Edward of Billings and Henry of Three Forks; thirteen grandchildren and two
great grandchildren. Another son, Harry, died in 1914 at the age of 2. The body is at the
Marsh funeral home in Sheridan and funeral arrangements are pending word from the daughter
in California.
Mr. Roeber had been employed at various ranches and jobs in this vicinity for about 20
years. Little is known locally of his life previous to his coming here. He was formerly of
South Dakota and it is known that he has three brothers and a sister in that state. The
body is at the Raper funeral home in Virginia City and Coroner Raper is attempting to
contact relatives.
