  Note	Prominent among the singers in the gallery was a late Squire Manks, a fine looking man who wore his hair in ringlets, reminding me at a time when I had just learned ot them, of the cavaliers, and who was usually dressed in white nankeen or other stuff in the summer. He was pronounced Orangman and took part in the noted celebration of the 12th of July, 1849. In 1854 however, he devoted himself to nursing the sick and burying the dead among the poor Irish Roman Chatholics of York Point, the victims of cholera, and was himself, while thus nobly employed, stricken to death by that disease.'
