MANNING.-It is with very deep regret that we have to announce the demise of Mr. C. A. Manning, which took place somewhat unexpectedly at his residence at Fremantle on Monday afternoon. Mr Manning arrived in the colony in the year 1854, from which time till his decease he has been uninterruptedly engaged in the shipping interest at the Port. He had also for some years acted as Consular Agent for France. Mr. Manning's zeal and activity in business, his gentlemanly demeanour and thorough integrity of purpose in promoting all that was good for his fellow-colonists and the welfare of his adopted country, were traits in his character so prominent that time itself cannot serve to efface them from the minds of all with whom he came in contact. Mr. Manning, in common with all men, had his failings, but his good deeds far outweighed them; and he has passed from amongst us honoured, respected, and regretted by all classes of the community. Western Mail (Perth, WA : 1885 - 1954), Thursday 1 June 1933, page 7 PIONEERS' GRAVES. A Fremantle Relic. Lying in the shelter of a hill which overlooks the bay where the ships of the State's first settlers sought anchorage, a dilapidated but unforgettable relic of the days when Western Australia was a struggling colony, the old Fremantle Cemetery in Skinner-street Fremantle's oldest existing graveyard will soon exist only in memory, as do the pioneers whose material remains it holds. Under a joint arrangement between the Fremantle City Council and the Fremantle Cemetery Board, it is proposed to exhume the remains of those buried there and transfer them to graves in the new cemetery. This done, a park and children's playground will be built on the site and so will disappear yet another of the many landmarks which have symbolised one aspect or other of the history of the State during its 100 years' existence. <<deleted text>> An imposing head-stone, surrounded by massive iron railings denotes the last resting place of Charles Alexander Manning, wealthy landowner and enthusiastic townsman, who died on February 1, 1869. He came to this State from the West Indies, bringing with him considerable wealth and later becoming, history tells us, "the largest landowner in the town." He had no inclination to politics, but devoted himself to affairs municipal. He was the originator of the volunteer movement in Fremantle and, among other offices, he had the distinction of being the "first Grand Master of Freemasonry in the colony." An enthusiastic astronomer, he built an observation tower on Manning Hill. Page 1 of 23 Friday, March 20, 2020 7:46:20 AM Generation 1 (cont.)
