THE BULLETIN
Manson, President of the
Georgia Training School for
Boys at Milledgeville. His
widow was Miss Pearl Cannon,
the daughter of Judge W. F.
Cannon of Irwinton.
The deceased was a graduate
of Talmage Institute, of Emory
University, of the Atlanta
Medical College of the Class of
1900, and was a prominent
fraternity member. After
practicing his profession for a
short time at Vienna, Georgia,
he opened his office here and has
since then practiced here. For
many years he served as County
Physician for Wilkinson county.
At the time of his death he
was official physician for Edgar
Bros. Co.
Perhajs no man in Irwinton or
in Wilkinson county had more
friends than the deceased, nor
was any man more loyal to his
friends than he. He practiced
his profession, not for personal
gain so much as to alleviate
suffering humanity. Whether
his patients had the money to
pay him or whether he knew he
would never be paid, no man
ever called on him at midnight,
even though it meant miles of
travel over the rough and almost
impassable roads, that he did
not go. The people of the
county will never forget him for
what he did during the terrible
scourge of Flu in 1918, when
people . were dying on all sides
with this disease and were call
ing for help It was then that
it was necessary for him to go
