  Biography below is from Carl Gwynn and entered November 2000 Amanda Augusta Taylor was born July 21, 1862 in either Tennessee or Kentucky. Her parents had moved from Tenn. to Kentucky five times before Amanda was seven years old. She helped her mother spread peaches to dry after she was dressed in her wedding dress and waited for her husband to come to take her to be married. She married September 16, 1880 at age 18, at Eureka, Greenwood County, Kans., William Mann, son of Robert and Susan Ann (Pence) Mann. William was born December 31, 1854 in Keokuk Co., Iowa. In about 1874, William and his brothers went to barber County to claim a farm. They lived only one year on the claim. The Barber Co. claim was not close to a town. Wichita was the nearest and it took about a week to get supplies back then. They came back to near Piedmont, Kansas where they farmed the ground. At that time Eureka, Kans. was a big town with a courthouse, a wheat and corn mill and several people took land claims and lived on them. It was a requirement to plant a hedge row on the farm. They lived in that area about five years before William married. He worked for a George Crail for a few years. After the death of Amanda's parents, they took in Amanda's two year old brother, James Melvin Taylor to live with them. He would often tell people he was James Melvin Mann. About 1890, the family moved to a farm about one mile north of Eureka. They farmed this section for the next 20 years. They moved a half mile west for several years and later twelve miles east of Eureka. William had cattle and also horses for farm work. He raised mules for sale. In about 1909, William had cataracts in his eyes which he had removed. Later he went completely blind. His daughter Ruth went with him around the fields and helped the three youngest sons to farm. She stated a day didn't go by he didn't say, "If only I could see". He pulled weeds from the feel of them in the potato patch. She was with him a lot of the time. During those years the family married and moved away leaving the two youngest sons William and Homer and a daughter Ruth at home. William Mann died July 20, 1920 of a heart attack. The family stayed on the farm until 1926, when Amanda, Homer and Ruth moved to the same farm they had lived on some twenty years, one mile north of Eureka. Amanda remained their with son Homer until 1929 when they moved to Eureka and later to California. Amanda died December 24, 1949. William and Amanda are buried at Piedmont, Kansas.
