JOHN MANN, Jr., a farmer living on section 28, Allen Township, has been a resident of Harrison County since the spring of 1871, when he accompanied his parents, who located at Bigler's Grove in Boyer Township. He lived at home and worked with his parents, always being a trustworthy and faithful child. After doing what he could for his folks at home, he purchased the farm he now occupies in 1876. The place consisted of eighty acres of wild land, bought on a contract. He turned over the virgin sod, built him a house, barns, granary, etc., and has since added to his farm until now he has two hundred and forty acres, one-half of which is under the plow. The premises are made still more valuable and attractive by an orchard of four acres, as well as an abundance of shade trees which provide a shade during the summer months, as well as a windbreak during the mid-winter days.
Our subject was born across the sea. His birthplace was in Glasgow, Scotland. His parents were John and Sarah Mann, who were also born in the land of "Robby Burns," and came from a sturdy ancestry, for which that country is so noted. They reared a family of six children, named as follows: Sarah, John, Thomas, James, Mary G., and Janet R. These sons and daughters are all residents of Harrison County, except Sarah, who lives in Nebraska. Our subject was seventeen years old when he came to America, and he came direct from New York to Woodbine, Iowa, only requiring sixteen days to make the trip from Glasgow.
Our subject was united in marriage April 13, 1881, to Candice Imlay, daughter of Solomon and Jane Imlay, natives of Ohio and Kentucky, respectively, and who lived at Magnolia, this county, about thirteen years, but now reside in South Dakota. They reared a family of eight children, our subject's wife being their first-born. Her brother and sisters were in the following order: Candice, our subject's wife; Omar J., Delila I., Addie, Seldon H., David F., William M. and John.
Mr. and Mrs. Mann have been blessed with the following children, born in the order given: Howard H., March 18, 1882; Arthur E., July 29, 1883; Nellie, December 12, 1884; Mary G., March 29, 1886; John R., December 22, 1887; Ethel, September 22, 1889; and Maggie J., March 21, 1891.
