Orrin Wyatt
Unfortunately I have not found a picture of his brother Merlin who died
in 1918 from the Spanish Influenza.
In whose memory the hospital was named after.
Jim Stoffers searched and found this image of Merlin.
I've often wondered if Orrin had a portrait of Merlin
hanging in the hospital.
Then like happens so often, someone who has no appreciation and respect for history took it down and put it in a box.
Then years later a janitor or someone cleaning house, who would have no idea who Merlin was, just threw away the picture.
All speculation but having
tried to preserve Manning's history for 50 years - I've seen this time and again.
