				JUNIUS N. MANLEY. 

	Junius N. Manley is the efficient sheriff of Grant county and is 
also connected with business interests of Milbank as the owner of a 
large livery barn. He was born in Richland county, Wisconsin, September 
24, 1865, a son of Joseph and Olive (Salisbury) Manley. His paternal 
grandfather, Durias Manley, was born in Pennsylvania but emigrated to 
Wisconsin, where he was living at the time of his demise. The maternal 
grandfather, William Salisbury, was a native of New York but became a 
pioneer settler of Ohio, where his death occurred. Joseph Manley was 
born in Ohio in 1835 and was married in Wisconsin on the 4th of July, 
1859, to Miss Salisbury, who was born in Summit county, Ohio. The 
father followed agricultural pursuits throughout his life and for 
several years resided in Wisconsin, where he removed in young manhood. 
In 1870, however, he went with his family to northwestern Iowa, making 
the journey with an ox-team. He continued to reside in that section 
until called by death. He was a democrat in politics and held a number 
of minor positions of trust. He was a loyal member of the Grand Army of 
the Republic, being eligible to that organization because of his 
service in the Civil war as a member of the Eleventh Wisconsin 
Volunteer Infantry. 

	Junius N. Manley was educated in the country schools of 
northwestern Iowa and during his boyhood and youth assisted his father 
with the work of the home farm. Upon reaching mature years he continued 
to follow the occupation to which he had been reared and gave his 
attention to farming until 1901, when he removed to Milbank, South 
Dakota, and became the proprietor of a livery business, which he still 
owns, although he now gives the greater part of his time and attention 
to his duties as sheriff. Although Grant county is republican by about 
four to one he was elected sheriff by a good majority, which is an 
eloquent tribute to his personal popularity and the confidence which 
the people of the county have in his ability and integrity. He has 
served in the office but a comparatively short time but has already 
proved his fitness for the position which he fills. 

	Mr. Manley was married in 1892 to Miss Minnie Hinz, who was born 
in Iowa, where her marriage occurred. They have two children: Forrest, 
who is serving as deputy sheriff; and Lloyd, who is a student in the 
State University. 

	Mr. Manley is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows 
and has served through all of the chairs. He has always been active in 
local political affairs, being one of the effective workers in the 
ranks of the democratic party. In all that he does he is alert and 
energetic and his enterprise and good business ability are the 
qualities which have made possible his success as he began his 
independent business career without capital and without the aid of 
influential friends.
