CIVIL WAR VETERAN DIES
George Harrison Mann, aged 79 years,and a civil war veteran , died at the home 
of his daughter, Mrs. W. O. Jessup, at Elkhart, Sunday night. Death was caused 
by heart disease after an illness of eight weeks.
Mr. Mann, who was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Abijah Mann,was born in Medina O., on 
11/17/1841. The family moved to Cass Co. and it was there in 1861 that Mr. 
Mann enlisted in the Second Michigan cavalry, with which he served until the 
close of the war. He sustained a fracture of one hip when his horse fell on 
him during his service, sustaining injury from which he never fully recovered. 
His wife, Jane Mann, died in 1896 and two years later Mr. Mann went to Elkhart 
to make his home with his daughter. He was a wagon maker by trade , but did 
not engage in any regular occupation after going there.
Surviving Mr. Mann are a son, Mack Mann of Los Angeles; two daughters, Mrs. 
Elmer Fuller , of Calvin township, and Mrs. Jessup, and a brother, Louis R. 
Mann, of Medina.
The funeral was held yesterday, with a brief service at the Jessup home at 9

o'clock, with burial at the Adamsville cemetery.
