MALVERN H. MANUEL
Malvern H. Manuel, treasurer of the Marquette Trust Co., was born in Waupaca,
Wisconsin, January 26, 1865, and is a son of George W. and Rebecca (McClellan)
Manuel, who were natives of Canada. The family, however, is of Scotch lineage.
The parents came to Wisconsin at an early day, settling in Waupaca, where the
father devoted his attention to the occupation of farming.
Malvern H. Manuel spent his youthful days in the usual manner of the farm bred
boy who divides his time between the work of the fields and the duties of the
school room. Later he spent two years as a high school pupil in Montevideo,
Minnesota, and afterward was graduated from the State Normal School at Winona,
Minnesota, in 1887. He next matriculated in the University of Minnesota and was
graduated with the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1894. For a time he engaged in
teaching school, following the profession at St. James, Minnesota, and at Huron,
South Dakota, until 1905, occupying the superintendency of the schools in both
towns. In that year he came to Minneapolis and here turned his attention to
manufacturing interests as president of the Manuel-Smith Heating Company, a
position which he retained until 1898, when he disposed of his interest in that
business and became associated with his brother in the organization of the
Manuel Brothers Realty Company. He later became identified with the Marquette
Securities Company and was thus actively engaged in the real estate business
until 1921. On the 14th of December of that year, he was elected president of
the Exchange State Bank, now consolidated with the Marquette Trust Company of
which he is the treasurer, and he is financially and actively interested in
several other corporations. His advancement in the business world has been
continuous. There have been no spectacular phases in his career and the elements
of chance have had nothing to do with his steady progression. He has worked his
way ward by persistency of purpose, winning his success through unfaltering
diligence 1 judicious investment and today he is regarded as one of the stable
and thoroughly reliable bankers of the city.
