JUDGE Will Winn was born and raised in
Marietta, and many of his boy companions
now grown to manhood, remember with
keenest friendship, his sterling traits of
character that always made him staunch
and true friend. The writer remembers
the great ability he displayed as ready
speaker in the debating society, how un-
answerable many of his arguments were
