Mr. John Jesse McMahan was born in Grafton, Nebraska to Mr. Alonzo Leo McMahan and Mrs. Sarah (Harrington) McMahan, whose ancestors walked the prairies of our country before it became the United States of America. Mr. John Jessee McMahan descended from two Revolutionary heroes, Robert McMahan and Jesse Conway.
In Kansas, he graduated from Hope High School and pharmacy School.
He married Helen Louise Heaton and had three children.
Pharmacist by profession he was the owner of Busy Corner Pharmacy located on Main Street in Ouray, Colorado. In 1949 became Mayor of the City of Ouray. A concerned citizen, he was National Past Exalted Ruler of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. Member of Lodge 492.
John Jesse McMahan was cremated, but in loving memory to their father, a plaque was placed by the McMahan children at Cedar Hill Cemetery, where their mother Helen Louise Heaton McMahan was buried.
Note: For over 36 years the family was led to believe that his ashes had been spread. After his cremains were found, his daughter Sue buried them in the McMahan family plot. The plaque no longer sits empty. Perhaps, it was meant for him to be buried next to the mother of his children all along, as he was so overtaken with grief after her death. May they both rest in peace!
