- ADELMORN B. MANLEY, M.D., a prominent practicing physician
of Shopiere, Wis., was
- born in Manchester, Boone Co., Ill., March 2, 1850, and is
a son of A. H. and Jane E. (BROOKINS) MANLEY. His father is
a native of Vermont, his mother of the Empire State, and they
now reside in Shopiere. His education was begun in his native
county, where he attended the common schools, and at the age
of fourteen he entered the High School of Beloit, where he pursued
a preparatory course, and graduated from Beloit College in the
class of 1874. Wishing to pursue the practice of medicine for
his life work, he entered the office of his uncle, Dolphus RANDALL,
of Garden Prairie, Ill., with whom he remained a year, where
he was engaged in teaching. Going to Capron, Ill., he secured
the professorship of the schools in that town, in which line
he continued two years, meanwhile pursuing his medical studies
under the direction of Dr. Frank NICHOLS, of that place. He
gave such splendid satisfaction as a teacher that he was engaged
at higher wages than any of his predecessors, and could have
secured the school again but he desired to attend medical college,
and hence resigned his position. He entered rush Medical College
of Chicago, which he attended during the winter of 1878-79, and
the following March went to Shopiere, where he began the practice
of his chosen profession. In the fall of 1882 he returned to
college, graduating in the class of 1883. In the meantime he
had continued his professional duties in Shopiere, and after
his graduation located permanently in that village. He has secured
a lucrative practice, of which many an older practitioner might
well be proud, and gained the confidence of all. His labors
have been crowned with good success, and notwithstanding he has
taken a prescribed course, he still continues his studies and
is far advanced in his profession. He has received the highest
honors from the chemical department, and is a registered member
of the State Board of Pharmacy of Wisconsin. He keeps a full
stock of druggists' supplies, and has a tasty and well-arranged
office.
- On the 6th day of September, 1876, Dr. MANLEY was united
in marriage with Miss Esther M.
- STEWART, of New York, a daughter of Samuel and Amanda STEWART,
who are both deceased. Their union has been blest with an interesting
family of three children - Howard, Roy and Guy. Socially, the
Doctor is a member of the I.O.O.F., and in his political affiliations
is a faithful and inflexible adherent to the principles of the
Republican party. He is also a member of the Board of Health.
As a physician he stands high in his profession, as a citizen
he is loyal and true, and as a friend and acquaintance he is
held in the highest regard by all who know him.
