Died in Holly Springs of yellow fever, on the twentieth of September, 1878, Dr. T. D. Manning, of Austin, Texas.
In his far-off beautiful home, where fame showered honors; where friendship, hope, love and joy gave rosy coloring to life in the bloom of youth, and glory of manhood, he heard the cry for “help,” and came down to the valley of death. By nature and education he was well suited for the dangerous duties sought after and assumed. With a brilliant mind, well stored with knowledge; an ambition that only aspired to excel his fellowmen in doing good, and a heart that never felt an emotion of fear, he combined all the essential elements that make up the great soldier on the grand field where death and immortality found him.
As a physician, his scholarly attainments placed him among the most distinguished of his State, and point to altitudes never reached by any of her gifted sons. As a gentleman, he was a finished model. In thought and act chaste, generous, noble and brave, he filled to completeness the loftiest type of Godlike manhood. Holly Springs, draped in mourning and bowed in grief for her own loved dead, will not soon forget the fearless philanthropist who offered up his young, bright life upon her altar.—Holly Springs Occasional.
==========================
Dr T. D. Manning of the Texas Institue of the Blind was very young to have acquired so great a reputation in his profession in this State. He was a regular graduate of the New Orleans School
of Medicine, but he afterwards chose diseases of the eyes as his field of operation, and with great success. He was associated with this Institution as visiting oculist for about three and a half years, and gave great satisfaction. He was a christian, and, of course, a gentleman in every way. A man of decision of character, kind and affable in his manners, he won for himself the friendship of many worthy citizens, and the respect of everybody. His loss to this Institution is sadly felt; and in the heart of every one in it who knew him, there is a niche wherein his noble memory will lie enshrined forever. When his death was announced to the school, the scene was sad indeed; for his hand, with many of them, had made them see; and, then, he was their friend.

According to the Austin American Statesman newspaper, on January 18, 1880, Dr. F. C. Manning left Austin, Texas to come to Holly Springs, Mississippi to have his brother's remains removed to the family cemetery in Farmerville, Louisiana. He returned to Austin, Texas on February 10. The newspaper was inconclusive as to whether or not he was successful in his task. T. D. Manning may still be buried in Hillcrest Cemetery, or he may have been reburied in the family cemetery in Farmerville, Louisiana.
