He was graduated from the Sioux City high school in 1909 and then entered Dartmouth College, at Hanover, New Hampshire, and in 1913 was graduated from that institution with the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

In August, 1924, he was elected vice president of the Woodbuy County Savings Bank and thus now has official connection with both the banks which his late father had so successfully established.

Manley was united in marriage to Miss Madge Vaughn of Des Moines, Iowa, and they have three children, a son and two daughters, namely: Winthrop L., Priscilla and Joan.
