Written by Paul E. Brown - 1995
Royal Manfull is one of my great benefactors as he was instrumental in my obtaining the janitor's job at the Augusta Schools which I so desperately needed and he also hired me in 1924 in the summer to work on his farm. He was a church man, a gentleman and a nice fellow to work for as he taught me many things. He is one of the outstanding men in my life as without him I would not have been able to accomplish many, many things.
Royal and Laura Manfull were both nice people and when I worked for Royal they had two daughters, Iola and Leota, but after I left the Augusta area a son was born and he still is important in Augusta and the Augusta church. I recall Royal as a teacher in the Augusta Christian Church, and a good one, too. Very nice people, substantial people. Royal's father was George Manfull.
