MEMORIAL RESOLUTION
MANLEY A. LAWRENCE
STREET COMMISSIONER
RICHMOND, INDIANA
195'8-1963
• It is so difficult in a matter of moments or in the space of a
few typewritten lines to take measure of a man 's sojourn on earth. If
one could seperate emotionalism from the matters of the mind, perhaps
the task could be performed.
Manley A. Lawrence was learned; there was no subject that interested
him that he did not master. He loved the heavens , its stars , its sat-
elites and what made them pursue their journey in the skies . He knew
about machines , and rocks and animals .
But above all, he mastered the subject of man. Manley A. Lawrence
knew people. He loved most of them, the others he tolerated gentlemanly.
Because of his insight of the human, he was able to assist all tYPes of
men and women in their travels on this sphere.
We knew him best as our Street Commissioner. This proffession he
acquired in the twilight of his life on earth. He was not a "road man"
when he first joined us; but he had a working acquaintance with machines,
he knew how and where to acquirw information and he knew people. Manley
A. Lawrence was successful again, in another field of endeavor. He
became in a short period of time the best we ever produced.
We shall remember Manley A. Lawrence for hlsscircuitous sense of humor,
his devotion to his men and his loyalty to his friends. Manley A. Lawrence
was honest -- a trait that affected every man he worked with, from the
Iman who pushed a broom to the leadership in City Hall. He did not preach
any of the virtues that he possessed, he lived them, and they were cont-
agious to those that came in contact with him.
An ordinary prosaic resolution would not be in keeping with this
unusual and unique individual. Manley A. Lawrence was differnet . We
all pray we can know another like him in our lifetime.
What then was the measure of this man, the Street Commissioner of
the City of Richmond , Indiana? Neither much space or time is needed--
just one word -- GREATNESS.
