Mr. Mann's death was very sudden, having been due to organic heart trouble. Up to five minutes before his death he was joking and laughing with friends, with no thought of the end that was soon to come.

Mr. Mann had five brothers who served with him in the civil war, all of whom came through without a wound, save one, who was only slightly wounded.
He leaves a wife, eight children, two brothers, and one sister to mourn his sudden death. Funeral services were conducted at the M. E. Church on Jan 21 by Rev. Brown, after which interment was made at Grand View cemetery.
