Trinity s Forget-Me-Not window was a special gift
By Tom Adamich
Recently, I wrote about the beautiful windows at Monroe’s Trinity Episcopal Church that serve as a chronicle of Monroe’s 19th Century and early 20th Century history. I focused on the Narthex, Memorial and most of the nave windows. However, one nave window was not included and deserves a separate article: The Forget-Me-Not window.
According to the Trinity Episcopal Church website, the Forget-Me-Not Window was a gift of Elizabeth Manning Sill and George M. Wright to honor William H. and Mary A. Manning, Edward Manning, Alice Manning, William Manning, Ella M. Wright, Henry Manning, Judge W.D. and Mary Ford, Gertrude DeLand and Charles W. Ford.
