The Marietta Journal and Courier, November 26, 1915
Mr W J MANNING died at his home on the Powder Springs road Friday afternoon,
after a long illness, in his 73rd year.  He came to Cobb from Chester, S. C.,
when he was nine years old.  He married Miss Elizabeth LINDLEY who survives him
with one son, Mr Frank MANNING and two daughters, Misses Lula and Sarah MANNING.

Dr J H PATTON led in prayer and spoke of his long acquaintance with Mr MANNING
who had always impressed him as an ideal soldier and a man of utmost worth in
every way to the community in which he lived.

He was a Confederate veteran of Phillip's legion and a member of Marietta Camp
763 which attended the funeral and stood at attention on each side of the long
drive form the house to the street as the casket was borne to the hearse.

The services were conducted by Rev A J MORGAN, of Acworth, who read accounts of
the deaths of Jacob and David and spoke from the text "Precious in the sight of
the Lord is the death of his saints."  Mr MORGAN had been Mr MANNING's pastor
when he was a young preacher, thirty years ago and he mentioned that he owed
much to the friendship and good influence of his dear friend who had passes away
from earth.

Mrs Charlie NORTHCUTT, Miss Arrie WHITE, Mr LEWIS and Mr WHORLEY sang "Jesus
Lover of My Soul" and "In the Sweet Bye and Bye."  The pall bearers where his
nephews Charlie EDWARDS and Henry, John, Lawrence, Charlie and Bob MANNING.  The
interment was in a cemetery in Powder springs and was attended by a great many
friends and relatives and the grave was covered with many beautiful flowers.
