He had been in failing health for several years and the last week or so he declined rapidly, notwithstanding the faithful, unremitting care of physicians, relatives and friends. Mr. Manley was born in South Carolina August 1, 1845 and came to Roanoke with his parents when a child of three or four years, where he has since resided. At the time of his death he was sixty-eight years, six months and two days of age. His surviving brothers are H. C. and C. D. Manley of this place, and his only living sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Atchison, residing near Texarkana. There are numerous other relatives including many nephews and nieces. The Manley family has been closely identified with the history of Roanoke, and in its growth and development, and our deceased friend was an important factor. He began clerking in a store when a small boy and sold goods for many years. In all his dealings he was smooth and pleasant and strictly honest. Notwithstanding he did a noble part by his aged parents and younger brothers and sisters and he was able to accumulate a comfortable little fortune. Mr. Manley also bore his part in the building of our churches and schools and in the support of other worthy causes. He was from early life a member of the Roanoke Baptist church and was also a Mason. He was a conservative element in the community, always advising harmony and seeking to promote peace and neighborly relations. Few men have lived so long in the same community and few have made more friends. The funeral services will be conducted at 10 o'clock Thursday morning from the First Baptist church by Dr. Rucker and the interment will be in Cedarwood cemetery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LOCAL News Dr. DeWitt Faucett returned to Gadsden Monday, being called here by the illness of his uncle Mr. D. Manley. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mack Manley of Newnan, Dr. G. L. Fausett of Greenville and Mrs. Mack Huffaker of Ensley were called to Roanoke last week to attend the funeral of Mr. David Manley. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEWSPAPER issue of Wednesday, February 11, 1914 CARD OF THANKS It is our desire to express in part our deep appreciation of the innumerable kindnesses that were extended to our now deceased kinsman, Mr. David Manley, during the long period of his physical debility through which he suffered before death, and to us in our bereavement. No words can adequately express the gratitude and kindly regard we feel, but we wish you to know that in our hearts we shall always remember you. For such kindness as you have shown, God alone may suitably give reward. H. C. Manley C. D. Manley S. C. Fausett (Transcribed by C.
