Early in life he engaged in mercantile pursuits, and was associated in the stove and hardware business at Portland with Nathan Winslow, and, later, with his brother-in-law, Geo. H. Cheney, for several years prior to 1838, when he removed to Paris, Me., and thence to Syracuse, N. Y., in 1841. He returned to Maine in 1847 and settled at Norway, where he took charge of a large mercantile business and iron foundry conducted under the name of Brown & Co. He was very active in affairs pertaining to the welfare of the town, particularly in educational, temperance and religious works, and, in whatever engaged, devoted to it the most untiring energy. On the completion of the Atlantic & St. Lawrence railroad to Montreal he made a visit to that city, where he contracted typhoid fever, from which he died on his return to Norway. The Norway Advertiser, in an obituary in Jan., 1854, said of him that "he was genial and social, and in his intercourse with the world was unexceptionable. As a friend he was warm in his attachments and confiding in his nature; in his deportment he was dignified, yet modest and unassuming, and in all his associations was influenced only by high and honorable motives." He was an incorporator and trustee of the Norway Liberal Institute, and Worthy Patriarch of the Sons of Temperance. After his death the family removed to Portland, 1854, Jan. He m. 1833, Apr. 25, Sophia Cheney, b. 1810. July 21, at Newport, N. H. Mr. Manning d. 1853, Sep. 29, at Norway; his widow d. 1884, May 26, at Portland. Both are buried in the old cemetery near the center of the village of Norway. There is a monument on the lot. Children: Georgiana, Charles, Prentice, Ellen, William, Frederick, Frank.
