(Cedartown Standard, January 28, 1904) 
Whereas, we learn with unmixed sorrow that our fellow fireman, G. E. Manning, 
was killed on the 29th day of December 1903, the same being the result of an 
accident the most unexpected and shocking and with the painful details of which 
we are all acquainted, be it therefore. Resolved, 1st, That the news of his 
unexpected death was a source of unmixed sadness to us all. 2nd, That we most 
cheerfully testify to his uprightness of life and beauty of character as a 
citizen, his unswerving fidelity as a friend and his nobility of spirit as a 
man. 3rd, That we also bear willing testimony to the fact that he was a brave a 
fireman as ever manned a nozzle, ascended a ladder, or confronted the fire 
fiend in blazing battle. 4th, That we extend to the stricken wife and other 
relatives of our brother as pure sympathy as was ever generated in human 
breast. 5th, That these resolutions be spread upon our minutes, and that the 
Secretary forward a copy of same to the family of Brother Manning. And we 
further request that the city paper give them a place in their columns. C. V. 
Wood, W. J. Weems, Eugene Pittman, Committee. (Cedartown Standard, January 28, 
1904)
