T.D. McMANUS.
  A sketch of Raymond and its
institutions would not be complete
without mention of Mr. T.D. McManus.
Mr. McManus is a native
of Ireland, having been born in
County Conan in the year 1865.  He
came direct from the old country to
Raymond in 1890, making his home 
for ten years with his uncle, P. J.
Dolan, Esq., and assisting in the 
management of his store.
  In 1899 he was married to Miss
Louise Spengler, of Jackson (a 
relative of the Spenglers who are 
proprietors of the famous Cooper’s 
Well), and has one child.
  He began merchandising for him
self in a small way in 1901, and has
by his energy, talent and industry
built up a business which is now very
profitable.
  Besides his mercantile interests,
Mr. McManus has a peach orchard
from which he makes large shipments
every season.
  Mr. McManus is proprietor of the
famous old “Oak Tree Hotel,” where
S.S. Prentiss, Andrew Jackson,
Jefferson Davis and other illustrious
statesmen were entertained in 
antebellum days.  A few years ago the
old building seemed to be going to
ruin, but Mr. McManus purchased
it, and, making  improvements, he
has converted it into a nice home.
  Having many excellent qualities
of mind and heart, Mr. McManus
has made many friends since coming 
here.  He is a member of the Catholic
Church, but is not at all bigoted
in his religion, having the true
Christian spirit of liberality towards
those of different faith.
Mr. McManus is a public-spirited
and useful citizen, and if we had 
more like him it would be the better
for the town and community.
