4.  VIRGINIA MANWARING was born on Jul 30 1918 in Murray, Utah.  She was blessed on March 3, 1919. She was baptized on December 5, 1926.

She had a tough time growing up.  Her father was killed in an accident when she was only two years old.  Her mother had to raise the children with all the hardships of the times.  She lost one young brother at Christmas time making Christmas a time for mourning.  Her mother married and this marriage was not a happy one ending in divorce.  Virginia graduated from high school and had many different jobs before she married and had children.  I remember her telling about being a bus driver, worked in a candy factory and she was a welder in the ship-yards during World War II.  She met Otto on a blind date arranged by Freda Mauerman, a coworker from the candy factory, (Freda was Otto's sister).  She was a home-maker and later became a real estate salesperson and passed the brokers test in the 1960's.

She really liked to read and play bingo.  She liked to go to Reno to gamble and was very lucky. She almost always came back a winner.

She suffered from Alzheimer’s in her 70's.

She was married to OTTO RICHARD MAUERMAN (son of ALBERT HUGO MAUERMANN and ANNA BARBARA WENDLE ) on Aug 14 1940 in Provo, Utah.  OTTO RICHARD MAUERMAN was born on Aug 31 1915 in Salt Lake City, Utah.  He died on Mar 24 1998 in Modesto, Stanislaus County, California.  He was buried in Ceres, California.  When he was born (he must have been premature) he did not weigh very much.  He was so little that his father could hold him in his hand.  The doctor that came to the house told them that Otto would not live.  They put him in a drawer to keep him warm and said many prayers.  This was told to us over the years and I do not know how much of it really was true.

He left home at an early age to travel throughout the country.  He worked at many jobs including painting the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. (Found in 1937 Crocker and Langley San Francisco City directory as a bridge worker living at 906 Howard Street.)  He had many jobs throughout his life.  He worked at a gas station when he first met Virginia.  When they were first married they owned a donut shop in Provo, Utah.  Both he and Virginia worked in the shipyards in the California Bay Area. He joined the Merchant Marines during World War II.  He traveled around the world several times bringing back many interesting stories.  They bought a dairy farm in Turlock, California and also planted 14 acres of wine grapes.  The company that bought the grapes went bankrupt and was unable to pay Otto and Virginia one year.  This was such a hardship that he took on another job of working in a feed plant.  Later he hooked up with a man named Paul Eicher and together they worked as electricians. They moved to Modesto, California to be nearer to his job after selling the dairy farm about 1952.  He built his first home at 1323 Collier Road and lived there for several years.  Several summers Otto and Paul would go prospecting in Nevada for uranium. They never found any but would be gone for many weeks at a time.

He and Virginia had a real desire to leave Modesto and move back home (Utah).  In 1954, they sold their home on Collier and moved their family back to Salt Lake City, Utah.  He wasn't able to find work that was as profitable as he had in Modesto so they moved back to Modesto.  He began to build another house located at 2009 Vista Drive and work with Paul Eicher again.  He studied very hard and passed the Electrical Contractors board to become an electrical contractor and started his own business called "OTTO'S ELECTRIC."  He also built another house and put it on the market to sell at a profit.  Meanwhile Virginia had become a real estate agent and they bought more than a dozen rental units for their retirement.  In 1969 Otto retired and they moved to one of their rentals that they had remolded for themselves.

  VIRGINIA MANWARING and OTTO RICHARD MAUERMAN had the following children:

          +9            i.    Barbara Kay MAUERMAN.

        +10           ii.    Michael Richard MAUERMAN.

        +11          iii.    Keith Ray MAUERMAN.
