King & Mann, History of Ceres...
p.106-107
John S. Mann came to Ceres in 1836. He taught the district school on the Pennsylvania side of the line, one term, then went to Olean and taught for a time. After a trip to Texas for the benefit of his health, where he engaged in teaching, he returned and studied law with Ellis, Esq., of Coudersport, and after being admitted to the bar married Mary W., the oldest daughter of John King, and removed to Coudersport.

Joseph Mann came to Ceres in 1838, and remained until 184-5, when he removed to Millport and after many years to Coudersport. He married Eloisa A. Button, of Portage, N. Y., who had taught a number of terms at Ceres on the Pennsylvania side of the line. Joseph Mann taught several winters in ths same school, but was employed in surveying during the summers. In 1844-5 John Mann taught the same school. He with his sons Joseph and John S., had kept a private seminary at Mannington, Pa., and so were well prepared to teach more than an ordinary country school, and they gave an impulse towards obtaining a higher education that was invaluable to the young people of that time. The other sons of John Mann, Lewis andParvin, were here more or less.

John S. Mann was a very active temperance worker. He had done much to build up a strong temperance sentiment in his countv. He was a member of the legislature for a number of terms, and while a member of that boclv was largely instrumental in having the Potter County Prohibitory Law passed. There was an attempt made by liquor men to have it repealed in 1894. John S. Mann died in 1878, and they seemed to think it could be done without much opposition. But Airs. Mann and others had petitions to the Governor circulated throughout the county, but the bill was killed in the committee and the Governor never saw it, which proves that the law holds a strong place in the hearts of the best citizens.
