Mrs. Sarah MANN, 90, for more than 80 years a resident of Fulton county, died Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the home of A. P. COPELAND after an illness covering a period of 18 months. Death was caused by old age and complications.
Sarah CHINN was born January 23d, 1829 in Shelby county, Ind., the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chichester CHINN. She was one of two boys and nine girls. She moved to this county at the age of nine. Her father was among the first settlers in this locality and the family was here when the Indians were removed from the county.
She received her education in a little log cabin that stood on the present location of the Cy DAVIS Variety store, which was used for a school house, church and court house.
In 1851 she was married to Dr. H. W. MANN, who died in 1864. They were the parents of four children. For 50 years she lived on the corner of Main and Seventh Sts., where the Fieser block now stands.
There survive a daughter, Mrs. H. C. DEVENY, of Oakland, Calif., a sister, Mrs. Lucy BROWN, of this city, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Mann was the oldest member of the Presbyterian church, joining in 1850. For the past 15 years she had made her home with the Copelands.
