        Jefferson L. Mann, President of Watsonville Parlor, No. 65, N. S. G. W., 
was born near San Jose, California, on January 5, 1864. He has always made 
California his home, and has only been out of the State once. That was in 1884, 
when he took a trip to Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, but did not like those 
States, and so came back to Watsonville.
        Mr. Mann's mother died when he was but three days old. As his father 
wished to go back East, his uncle and aunt adopted him, and he has lived with 
them ever since. Their home is on the San Juan road, three miles from 
Watsonville. His foster father has here one of the finest orchards in the Pajaro 
Valley. They have been living on this place since 1869, when they moved from 
Green Valley, Santa Cruz County.
        Jefferson Mann attended the Corralitos public school, and received an 
ordinary education. He joined Watsonville Parlor, No. 65. N. S. G. W., and was 
elected First Vice President in November, 1890. In June, 1891, he was elected 
President of the Parlor. Mr. Mann takes a very great interest in the order N. S. 
G. W., and believes that every native Californian who loves the land of his 
birth should unite himself with the order.
