Manley Bath County News-Outlook Thursday, January 6, 1938 Former Sheriff Succumbs M. M. Manley Dies After Long Illness Marion M. Manley, 74 years old, died at his home at Wyoming Wednesday night, December 29, after a long illness. He had been in declining health for a number of years and for the past few months had been in grave condition. Mr. Manley, for a number of years a prominent figure in Bath County politics, was a native of this county and a son of the late Richard and Margaret Trumbo Manley. He was elected sheriff of Bath County in 1913, and served from January 1, 1914 until January 1, 1918. After the expiration of his term as sheriff he retired to his farm at Wyoming, where during the latter years of his life he took an active interest in school politics until the sub-districts were abolished by the Bath County Board of Education. He was a candidate of deputy sheriff under R. E. Catlett in 1933, but the ticket was defeated in the primary election of that year. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Maude Riddle, of Wyoming, and several grandchildren. Funeral services were held at the residence Friday, December 31, conducted by the Rev. George C. Frey of the Owingsville Christian church. Interment was in the Allen graveyard.
