[Nicholas County]  [Carlisle City and Precinct]

REV. MILTON MANN, farmer, P. O. Carlisle, proprietor of Sumach Grove Farm
was born upon the farm which is his present home, Nov. 25, 1828; he is a
grandson of John Mann, and the youngest of three children: James, a local
preacher in the M. E. Church, South; Fanny, deceased, wife of John Shaw,
who still resides in Nicholas County, and the subject of this sketch, who
received very few advantages in early life, but worked hard upon the farm
until the fall of 1851, when he entered Asbury University, where he
remained four years, then returned home and entered the ministry, from
which time it is said, he has raised more money for the Bible cause, built
more churches, and taken more people into the church, than any other man
in the Kentucky Conference; his itinerancy continued until 1876, since
which time his life has been principally devoted to farming.  He  has been
four times married; first upon the 31st of May 1855, to Margaret Ricketts,
daughter of Wm. Ricketts of Nicholas; by her he had three children, only
one of whom are living: Fletcher, who married Mary Jones of Carlisle, by
whom he has three children: Horde W., James M. and Bruce; first wife died
May 26, 1862, at Mt. Olivet, Ky.; second marriage to Jenny Ricketts, a
sister to his first wife, July 15, 1862; by her he had two children: E.G.B.
and L. E.; the mother died June 23, 1867; third marriage Dec. 4, 1867, to
Louisa E. Williams, daughter of Byrd Williams of Nicholas, by her he had
five children, the two eldest died in infancy; those living are: Pearly H.,
Allie and Lumie D.; wife died July 9, 1877; fourth marriage Feb. 12, 1878,
to Elvira Hughs, daughter of Esq. Granson Hughs of Nicholas.  He has been
especially favored in being called upon to perform marriage ceremonies,
uniting as many as five couples in one day, and two and three couples under
one ceremony; he deserves much credit for the education of himself under
adverse circumstances, and the amount of good he has done for the promotion
of Christianity, the improvement of stock, sheep, cattle and horses, owning
some very fine animals of each kind.  He bred and now owns the famous
Mambrino Le Grand stallion, who took twelve premiums in the fall of 1881,
and for beauty stands next to the Mambrino King, said to be the finest
horse in the world.  Mr. Mann is a prominent man in his community,
interested in public improvements, and is treasurer of the Board of
Directors of the Forest Retreat and Panther Creek Turnpike.
