James H. Mann ’31

Jim died Jan. 25, 2007, at his home in Wilmington, N.C.

He was born in Bluefield, W.Va., son of Edward and Mary Mann. Jim attended the Lawrenceville School. Prior to World War II, he was engaged in the fuel business, but in 1941 he entered the armed forces, serving first in England and then in Germany and attaining the rank of major.

In civilian life, Jim was active in his church, serving as a vestryman at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Winston-Salem, N.C. We remember him as always smiling and, with his Southern accent, able to tell a story with maximum joy.

Jim was predeceased by his first wife, Mae. He will be missed not only in his home town of Wilmington, but also in Vero Beach, Fla., where he and his lovely wife, Nancy, lived for many years. To Nancy and her children, the class sends its heartfelt condolences.
