Manvil was born April 1, 1912, in his parents home in rural Osage, the son of Wilhelm Bernhard and Bertha Marie (Rossum) Ask. Manvil received his education in the Mitchell County Schools.

After working nearly one year in a garage in Cleveland, "the depression" hit and Manvil returned to his parents' home to help on the farm. He drove a livestock truck for Guy Buttolph for several years before beginning his career in farming.

On June 14, 1940, Manvil was united in marriage to Dorcas L. Shelledy. They made their home in rural Osage and were blessed with three children. He was a gifted mechanic who helped neighbors with machinery breakdowns.

Manvil was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Truman; his sister, Myrtle; as well as sisters and brothers-in-law.

Manvil is survived by his wife, Dorcas of Osage; sons, Dick (Beth) Ask of Rochester, Minnesota, and Don (Judy) Ask of St. Ansgar; daughter, LuAnn (Neil Tibbetts) of Cedar Rapids; grandsons, Mike (Carol) Ask of Mesa, Arizona, Greg (Kimber) Ask of Longmont, Colo., Jeremy (Brenda) Ask of Canton, S.D.; and granddaughter, Gina (Eric) Goddard of Osage.
