The Caldwell Watchman, October 21, 1927
R. H. Manly, prominent truck and fruit grower, of the Kelly neighborhood, died 
in a sanitarium at Monroe on last Saturday afternoon. His death came as a 
shock to many in this parish, as he was a long-time resident in this parish, 
residing near Columbia before moving to Kelly where he has been engaged in 
growing fruit and truck and nursery stock since 1918. He was born in Missouri 
on April 16, 1855, and came to Caldwell Parish in 1882 and has since been a 
resident of this parish. In 1882, he was married to Miss Narcissus Dunn who 
survives him. 

Mr. Manly was a consistent believer that Caldwell parish was an ideal section 
for fruit and truck, and this belief made him noted in every section of 
Caldwell and adjoining parishes for his fruits, strawberries, etc. His farm 
was called the Manly Demonstration Farm by all who visited it. 

Mr. Manly leaves to mourn his departure a widow, two daughters, Mrs. Kirkland 
of near Kelly and Mrs. Fred Childers of Monroe, one son, S. H. Manly of near 
Riverton, and a number of grandchildren. 

The remains were laid to rest in the Columbia cemetery Sunday afternoon, Rev. 
J. H. Brooks, of Standard, conducting the funeral services. 


Additional Comments:
Ross Holmes Manly was born in Sulphur Springs, Missouri. He was the son of 
Martin V. Manly and Eliza Watson.
