Pretly Romance Leads to Wedding.
Atlanta Georgian, 30th ult.
The first public announcement of the
romantic marriage of Dr. James DePass
Manget, the young Atlanta physician,
and Miss Cora Robison, formerly a
nurse on the staff of the Grady hospital,
came with the return of the couple
from their honeymoon trip to St. Au
gustine, Fla.
Dr. Manget and Miss Robison were
married last Tuesday evening by Dr.
J. W. Lee at Trinity church, only the
members of the family being present.
It was in no sense a secret wedding,
but no fanfare of trumpets heralded
the culmination of a pretty romance
that began nearly five years ago, when
the bride was a nurse at Grady hospital
and the young physician, fresh irom
college, became first interne, then
house-surgeon at the institution.
Receiving the congratulations and
good wishes of their many friends, Dr.
and Mrs. Manget are now back in At
lanta, where tne former will shortly es
tablish a practice of his own, having
planned to sever the connection he has
had for some time with Drs. Jarnigan
and Hancock at the Atlanta hospital.
Less than two months previous to the
marriage of his brother, Dr. Frederick
P. Manget, also a former house-surgeon
at the Grady hospital, was married to
Miss Louise Anderson, of Marietta, the
wedding taking place Sept. 29, and the
couple setting sail Oct. 20 for Soo Chow,
China where Dr. Manget will be a med
ical missionary connected with the
Methodist Medical School at that point.
The Manget brothers are sons of Prof.
V. E. Manget, of Marietta, a Metho
dist minister of note and well-known
as an educator in the South.
