Frances Ann was born July 30, 1917 to Clemens and Anna Schelle Stallman at Plankinton, Aurora County, SD, and grew up on the family farm southeast of Reliance. She attended Cooper School through the eighth grade then worked on the farm and also for others until she was old enough to go Iowa to help her sister, Marie. Frances married Lawrence Frederick Nanneman Mar. 5, 1946, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Reliance. Their wedding dance was held in the Oacoma Hall at Oacoma. This hall is still standing (2010). Lawrence was born April 22, 1919 at Wein, Linn County, Mo. He and Frances moved onto the farm in Clariton County, MO., where they spent their entire life together. They farmed and operated a lucrative dairy business, retiring in 1982. Both devout Catholics, they raised their family in the same faith. Frances and Lawrence would visit Grandma Stallman's farm and how the little ones loved it when she would lay on the floor and pretend to be dead. There was not a thing anyone could do to get her to blink or laugh. Either she was really good at playing dead or we were so busy poking or tickling her we just failed to notice. One summer when they came to visit he brought me a little pair of wooden shoes. How I loved those special shoes just for me! I kept them for years until the time I decided they would make wonderful planters and filled them with whatever then watered them. They split across the instep. I was just sick. Lawrence was one of my favorite uncles, such a nice man. He was a very soft-spoken, gentle man. One of those people who had a quote or a story for everything no matter what you were talking about. Because of him, I (barbara) have become a story-teller in my own rights. Thanks, Uncle Lawrence. Frances was the "full of piss and vinegar" child in the Stallman family and remains pretty rascally today. Always cutting up and acting silly. What a legacy these two leave their family. All nine of their children were born at Marceline, Linn County, Mo. Thomas P. Nanneman
Thomas Paul was born June 17, 1960 and graduated with the class of 1979 from Salisbury High School in Salisbury.
