From "Twentieth century sketches of the South Carolina Conference, M.E. Church, South":
"Rev. John Manning, son of Mr. Mealy Manning and Mrs. Mary Manning, was born November 29, 1844. His early educational advantages were somewhat limited, but he made excellent use of them and made a heroic struggle for an education, sometimes walking five miles to school. What a rebuke this is to those boys in this day who have schools all about them and yet do not attend! It really seems that the more plentiful schools are, the less appreciation there is of them.
Brother Manning was engaged in the mercantile business and was succeeding nicely wlicn the divine call to preach came to him. He laid down everything- in the business work and at a great financial sacrifice entered the ministry, hoping to serve the Lord faithfully. He joined the South Carolina Conference in November, 1889, with T. S. Abercrombie, A. H. Best, R. A. Child, J. R. Copeland, G. W. Davis, W. H. Hodges, M. B. Kelly, J. M. Rogers, J. W. Shell, W. S. Stokes, A. B. Watson and J. A. White.
He has served as follows: Pee Dee Mission, 1890, (in the spring of this year he was removed and used to fill out the unexpired term of Rev. F. Auld, whose health had given way); Wedgefield Circuit, 1891; Waterloo Circuit, 1892-93; North Marlboro Circuit, 1894; Edgewood Circuit, 1895-6. At this period, our good brother's health had so given way that he felt it necessary for him to ask for the supernumerary relation, which was granted. He has never since felt that his health had been sufficiently restored for him to take work again.
Our friend is a good man, a faithful and zealous worker, and an acceptable preacher. It is sincerely hoped that he will yet be restored and have many years to preach that Gospel that is so precious to him.
Brother Manning was married December 13, 1865, to Miss C. S. McRae. Of this union six children were born, two of whom have passed to the life beyond. Four daughters are still living: Lena, Jane, Nannie, Mary Catherine and Mrs. Emma Evans. The mother of these children was also taken to the home above. Brother Manning's second marriage was on April 22, 1880, to Miss Rebecca Kinney."
