R. H. MANN, photographer, Virginia City; was born in Wilmington,
Jan. 29, 1855.  His father, H. T. Mann, was a carriage trimmer,
and a native of London, England.  Emigrated to America at about
twenty-five years of age.  His mother was, before marriage,
Matilda Stevens, and married Mr. Mann, in London, and Robert H.
was the oldest of their two sons.  Our subject received his
primary education in his native town, afterward attended
Lockport, Ill., High School, and later in Bloomington.  Mr. Mann
gained his first experience as a photographer in Faribault,
Minn., where he continued to work for about four years.  He then
went to St. Paul, same State, where he made the art of re-
touching a speciality for the best establishments of that city. 
He then came to Jacksonville, Ill., and there spent two years
with A.W. Cadman, and July 29, 1879, came to Virginia, bought out
C. H. Cummings, and since that time has successfully conducted
the business, making for himself the reputation of producing as
good work as any artist in Central or Southern Illinois.  Aside
from the fact that Mr. Mann is a thorough and practical artist,
he has a commodious gallery, constructed especially for his
business, which is well stocked with all the latest modern
appliances for producing first-class work.  He married Mrs.
Maggie Hickox of Virginia, Feb. 28, 1882.
