Bio

"A Dallas resident for the last sixty-nine years, Mann was born in Greenville, Ky ... and spent part of his earlier life in Illinois and Missouri. At the time of his retirement ten years ago he had been with Moore Wholesale Sash & Door Company forty-eight years. He was a member of the City Temple Presbyterian Church and of the Scottish Rite. Survivors are two sons, Clyde Mann and Roy Mann; two daughters, Mrs. Minnie Williams and Miss Lula Mann; a brother, B. F. Mann; a sister, Mrs. Lela Hagan of Oklahoma City; eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren...." ( The Dallas Morning News , Feb. 6, 1946, Section I, p.11) His granddaughter, Mary Louise Ballard Riley (1914-1999), related in 1991 that John "was a handsome man, even in the eyes of a child. He had an aristocratic bearing, was always dressed well, and was the complete master of his home. His bedroom had pictures on the wall of several famous men of our country. He played a fiddle in his later years.... I thought my grandparents home beautiful beyond words. It was two story with white columns with an upper and lower front porch. The house sat on a high terrace. Inside, the walls were plastered and each a different beautiful color. The back yard had peach trees." The house still stands on North Windomere Avenue.
