William A. Manor was born in Green Co., O., Dec. 17, 1846, and came to Floyd 
Co., Ind. in Oct. 1869. His father, John W. Manor is still living, at the 
advanced age of 72 

years. His mother, Margaret A. (Scott) is also living, age 71. Our subject has 
been married twice. He married first, Oct. 28, 1874, Louisa A. Curry, daughter 
of Thompson 

and Mahala (Romine) Curry, now deceased and who was born Feb. 1854, at New 
Albany, Ind. She passed away Dec. 1855. A son, William A. died July 21, 1885. 
He 

married secondly, Sept. 3, 1887, in Delaware Co., Ind., Harriet J. Harmont who 
was born May 11, 1858, in Pickaway Co., O.  Her parents, neither of whom are 
living, were 

George B. and Annie M. (Baughman) Hermont. One child was the issue of this 
union, Jennie Louise. Comrade Manor served with the “Squirrel Hunters” when 
called out by 

Gov. Todd. He was engaged in farming and was but 18 years of age when he 
entered the service of his assailed country; he was enrolled in Xenia, O., 
Jan. 1865, as a private 

in Co. D, 186th O.V.I., and was subsequently promoted to Corp.  Owing to the 
lateness of his enlistment, he was not called into active service but did 
guard and garrison 

duty in Cleveland, Chattanooga and Nashville. He was honorably discharged 
Sept. 25, 1865, at Nashville, Tenn. His father served in the late War in Co. 
F, 154th O.V.I. A 

brother, David served in the 150th O.V.I.  His grandfather, J.A. Scott served 
in the War of 1812. Geo. B. and Robert, brothers of his present wife, also 
served. Comrade 

Manor is a member of Sanderson Post, in which he is past Adjt. He is Supt. Of 
Depauw’s Plate Glass Works and he is a resident of New Albany, Indiana. 

Additional Comments:
I came across the photocopied pages in a file at the public
library in New Albany. I have never been able to locate an
original copy of the book.
