LtCol Thomas Manlove died in Jackson, MS in the 38th year of his age. He was born in Vicksburg and the son of honored and respected late C.A. Manlove.
At the start of the war, Tom Manlove was a bright, handsome, and dashing a young man as ever gladdened a fond parent's heart. A favorite in society, and among the companions of his boyhood, he had just completed his education. Adopting the profession of law, he was ready to enter the practice when the war arrived.
Manlove bade farewell to his chosen profession and the delights of home to enter the military service in one of the first companies to leave for Virginia. He was chosen 1st LT and shortly after rose to Captain. His company was attached to the 21st MS Regiment led by Col Benjamin G Humphreys. He served with that company over a year, serving at the battle of Seven Pines and subsequent battles around Richmond concluding with the bloody affair at Malvern Hill.
When the 48th MS Regiment was organized, Capt Manlove was promoted to Lt Colonel where he remained for the balance of the war. In the battlefields of Virginia, Col. Manlove was dangerously wounded and for many weeks his life seemed on the verge of the grave. He recovered and returned to his command.
LT Col Manlove was married to Miss Flora Arnold, the daughter of Maj Ripley Arnold of MS. He returned from the war not only to realize the ruin and bankruptcy but to find that the wounds he'd sustained were undermining his health. With the death of his sweet young wife, the last ray of hope faded from his heart. He leaves a young daughter with his stricken mother and only surviving brother. He is laid to rest beside his father.
