MILO A. MANNING

MR. SPEAKER: Your committee, appointed to prepare a suitable resolution commemorating the life, character and public service of the late Honorable Milo A. Manning, begs leave to submit the following memorial:

Milo A. Manning was born at Lanark, Carroll County, Illinois, October 16, 1860. He passed away at Ames, Iowa, April 5, 1953.

His education was received in the public schools and business college at Aledo, Illinois. He learned telegraphy at Clarence, Iowa, and became an agent for the Chicago & Northwestern Railway, ultimately becoming train dispatcher at Eagle Grove and Boone, Iowa. He held a similar position at Rawlings, Wyoming, for the Union Pacific Railway. He went into the mercantile business in 1888 at Crawford, Nebraska, and later at Sheldon, Iowa.

In 1930, Mr. Manning moved to Ames, organized the Ames Savings Bank and served as its cashier until 1912, when he sold his interest in that bank and organized the Commercial Savings Bank, being its president for a number of years.

Mr. Manning was a Republican member of the Thirty-fifth General Assembly. He was city treasurer at Ames, Iowa, for eight years and later assessor there. He was a member of the Masonic bodies.

Mr. Manning was married to Clara West in Ames, April 6, 1887. He is survived by two sons, Truman of Ames, and Merrill of Bayside, Long Island, New York, and a daughter, Mrs. Margaret Paustain of Ames. Six grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren also survive him.

Therefore, Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Fifty-sixth General Assembly of Iowa: That in the passing of the Honorable Milo A. Manning, the state has lost an honored citizen, a hospitable friend, an able businessman, and a faithful, useful public servant, and the House, by this resolution, would express its appreciation of his service, and tender its sympathy to the members of his family.

Be It Further Resolved: That a copy of this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the House and that the Chief Clerk be directed to forward an enrolled copy to the family of the deceased.
