Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 577-579:
Robert Manery, postmaster at Hillman, and a well-known farmer of Mersea township, County of Essex, where he is widely known as one of the loyal and upright citizens of Ontario, is a native of Glasgow, Scotland, born Sept. 15, 1839, son of William Manery.
     William Manery was born in County Tryone, Ireland, and there he passed his youth and young manhood. He learned the trade of weaver, and then went to Scotland, where his ability won him employment in the weaving of the famous shawls for which that country is noted. In his new home he married Annie McGill, who bore him three children, William, James and Robert. She died shortly after the birth of the third child, and the father, foreseeing wider opportunities for himself and his children in the New World, determined to come to America. Accompanied by his little ones and a maiden sister he left Scotland on a sailing vessel, in 1841, and after several weeks on the water, reached Quebec. Coming thence to Ontario, he located near Hamilton, in the County of Halton. Finding no opportunity in the little developed country for his trade, he abandoned it, and engaged in lumbering, for many years owning and operating a sawmill, and he also engaged in farming. In 1870 he came to the County of Essex, and located on a 200-acre tract in Mersea township, with his son James, and he remained there several years, but spent his last days in Leamington, dying there in 1885. His remains are buried in Lake View cemetery. In his political views he was a stanch adherent to Conservative principles, and while in the County of Halton served as school trustee. Before coming to America he had been a member of the Church of England, but in Canada he joined the Methodists. His second wife was a Miss Moffitt, and his third Mary Jane Manery, who bore him one child, Annie (who married William Davidson), and who survives, making her home in Leamington.
     Robert Manery was but a year and a half old when his father brought him to the New World... From a very early age he assisted his father in the sawmill and on the farm. In 1872 he came to Mersea township, where he purchased fifty acres of land, at six dollars per acre, on Lot 18, Concession 2. There were no roads and few settlers in his vicinity, but with the work of clearing his land he had no time to miss associates. He built a log house, 18 by 26, containing three rooms. To this home he brought his young wife, who bravely faced the hardships of the wilderness. By incessant hard work, close economy and strict attention to business, he succeeded in clearing his land, and in improving it with fine barns and outbuildings, and in 1898 he erected a commodious brick dwelling. The farm is well cultivated, and its neat appearance shows well the thrift and personal care of the owner. His home is the most pretentious in the Concession.
     Just at the time when Mr. Manery saw the end of a life of toil, and found himself able to rest, serene in the comfort of a well-earned holiday, he was, on Jan. 25, 1903, stricken with paralysis, and since then he has been confined to the house, dependent on others...
     Like his father, Mr. Manery is a Conservative, and has always taken a deep interest in public affairs, especially in the advancement of the schools... He was school trustee at Hillman, and he, for many years, served as a member of the township council. During his term improvements were made in the roads and bridges, and he was one of the supporters and advocates of the drainage of the Point Pelee Marsh. Mr. Manery served as deputy reeve, which gave him a seat on the county council board for three years. He belongs to the Loyal Orange Association, and filled the office of master of the order at Hillman. He is a member of Imeson Lodge, always taking a deep interest in the work of the association...
     In 1882, Mr. Manery was appointed postmaster at Hillman, and since then has filled that office to the utmost satisfaction of the people. For some years he was a correspondent for the Windsor Record, but since his health failed he has given it up.
     In 1865, in the County of Norfolk, Ont., Mr. Manery was united in marriage with Mary Isabel Tester, daughter of Henry Tester, and sister of Mrs. C. L. Wingrove, of Mersea township. Thirteen children blessed this union: (1) Emily Jane, who married Isaac Livingstone, and lives in Leamington, has six children, Robert, Ella, Frederick, Ethel, Blanche and Percy. (2) Eliza Jane, who married Rueben Fox, has four children, Orrin R., Ernest, Basil and Walter. (3) Alice Mabel married James Hutchinson, of Gosfield, and has four children, Stanley, Clarence, Gertrude and Prosper. (4) Jessie is at home caring for her parents. (5) William Henry married Pearl Fulmer, of Colchester, Ont. (6) James Thomas, married Myrtle Fox, and has one daughter, Lina F. (7) Charles is the next in the family. (8) Lula Maude married Everett Fox, of Mersea township, and has one son, Clifford. (9) John is a tailor in Leamington. (10) Ruby, (11) Frank, (12) Dell, and (13) Cora Belle, died in infancy. Both Mr. and Mrs. Manery are members of the Methodist Church, and are active in all its good work. They are kind and charitable, and extend a helping hand to the sick and needy. It is given to but few people in the world to be as highly esteemed and so universally beloved.
