****************

Mann - On the 29th of August, in Elkhart Co, Ind, of dropsy and heart failure, Jacob Mann, aged 54 y, 8 m, 10 d.

He was born in Richland Co, Ohio, May 19, 1851, and later removed with his parents to Elkhart Co, Ind. When two years of age he fell into a tub or kettle of hot soap, and in consequence became totally blind.

He was married and a wife and two sons and twos daughters, with one sister and two brothers, survive him.

His later years were spent in different towns and cities as an "organ-grinder," but his residence was in Elkhart, Ind. On account of his not being able to see and other causes his life was real sad and his lot a hard one, but he had many friends, who sympathized with him and also helped him. Through the cold and storms of winter and through the heat and rains of summer he stood on the street corners trying to interest the people in the music and thus help him maintain himself.

His remains were buried near the Olive M H on Friday, Sept 1st. Services were conducted by John F Funk from Matt 25:46. Peace to his ashes, and may the Lord bless and comfort the surviving family and friends.
