DR.. ]. H. Patton, the only Marietta
MINISTER who had been a personal
friend of Prof Manget, gave a short
talk at the grave. The sum and sub
stance of his remarks was "this was
the best man l have ever known"
The floral offerings were really
wonderful. Besides an exquisite
blanket of white rose-buds, given by
his devoted children, which covered
the grave, there were such numbers
Of handsome pieces that the entire
lot was filled with them.
