Corinth, Sept. 6, 1863
MRS. MALLETT-It is with feelings of sympathy and regret that I now inform you that your son James is a prisoner of war in the hands of the rebels. He was captured on Thursday of this week, while on a short scout about ten miles from this place, together with three of Co. K. He volunteered to go, their object being to recover some mules that had strayed out of our lines into the country. They were assailed by about thirty of forty of the enemy, but nobly stood their ground until they were captured. There were five in the party, but only tow made their escape, they having very good mules to ride. They say that James fired the first shot, and told the rest of them to stand their ground; but the enemy were so much stronger than their brave little party that they were forced to surrender. Three companies were immediately sent in pursuit but could not find them, they returned last night. They learned from citizens that they were made prisoners, and were seen going toward the Tennessee River under guard. It is supposed that none of them were wounded. I should have written sooner, but I have been waiting in hopes that our three companies would retake them; but as they have returned without them I have taken the responsibility of writing. I have taken good care of all of his clothing, litters, etc., as he was my bed-fellow. The Captain wished me to do so, and to write to you.
I think that they will be taken to Richmond, Va., and exchanged or paroled, and come back here in the course of a month; at least I hope so. A letter came for him to-day, and as it was mailed in Elgin, Capt. McGuire requested me to open and answer it, which I did. It came from Mr. Mallett. James was in good health and spirits when he left us in the morning. He has proved himself to be a good and brave soldier, in all of the battles that our regiment has been engaged in, and is a true patriot, always willing to do his duty. I will keep all letters etc. that come for him, or will forward them to you if you wish me to do so.
My health is very good at this time, but we feel exceedingly lonesome here without either James or Arthur. Please remember me kindly to all inquiring friends, and give my love to all of our family. hoping this may find you well, I will close, and remain.
Yours truly,
HENRY C. HASSAN,

   Obit; April 2, 1903 issue of The Elgin Daily News.
   Adin Mann, one of the pioneers of this county, a veteran of the Civil war and one of the best known citizens of Elgin, died at his home, No. 112 South Porter street, this morning from general debility, the result of advanced age. He celebrated his 86th birthday last October and until within a very few months has been actively engaged in his profession of civil engineer.
Mr. Mann was born in Oxford, New Hampshire, Oct. 14, 1816. His father, a new England farmer, came to Illinois with his family in 1838 and settled on a "claim" in the western part of Elgin township, this county, which his son had taken up the year previous.
Adin Mann remained at the old homestead in New Hampshire until he attained his majority and during the last three years of his life there worked on the farm in the summer, taught school in the winter and attended the Kimble union academy at the spring and fall terms. In the fall of 1837 he settled on a claim of unsurveyed government land in the western part of this township. Later in the season, he returned to his New England home and the following year the entire family, with two or three others, thirty persons in all, in wagons, started for Illinois, arriving at their destination six weeks later, after a tedious journey. A frame house was soon erected and the work of improving the land began.
   The claim was finally divided between the three brothers, one part becoming the property of Adin Mann, who devoted the summer season to work on the farm and in the winter taught school in Elgin, being among the first teachers in this part of the state. In 1841, Mr. Mann returned to his eastern home and married Miss Lydia P. Wright. In 1843, he was elected justice of the peace and county surveyor and moved from the farm to Elgin. At the end of two years, ill health caused him to resign his office and return to the farm. He served as county treasurer and in this capacity showed an indomitable spirit and his true worth. It was at the outbreak of the Civil war and the currency he had received at par depreciated until it was worth less than fifty cents on the dollar. in order to protect the property owners, he sold everything he had except two cows, two pigs and a few bushels of wheat to make good the loss. Broken in spirit, but intensely patriotic, he obtained authority from the governor to raise a company for the army and in less than a week had sixty men enlisted and mustered into the United States service. his company became part of the 124th regiment. Four sons enlisted with their father and all served during the war. They were 125 days in battle and siege and strange to relate, not one received a wound of any kind. Major Mann participated in some of the fiercest battles of that terrible struggle. He was appointed chief engineer of the Vicksburg district, which position he filled until mustered out of the service in 1865 with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Under his direction the railroad from Big Black river to Jackson, thirty-five miles, was reconstructed under his direction, after the most arduous work, he was compelled often to ride forty miles during a night to be present at some point where he was needed in the morning.
During his service, Major Mann saved over $4,000 and when discharged went into the lumber business. He became a partner in the ownership of three steam sawmills and a large tract of pine timber in the south, his family having moved to Vicksburg near the close of the war. After a year of hard work, he gave up the struggle and returned to Kane county, broken in health and penniless. He came to Batavia and engaged in the map-making business for a Philadelphia publishing company and was an expert in this work. Major Mann was city engineer of Oil City for a time, was assistant engineer at Topeka, Kans., and filled other places of honor. In his eighty-second year he was city engineer of Elgin and deputy county surveyor.
Major Mann has been a surveyor in this section of the country for the past forty years and it can be safely said that he knew the situation of every "stake" in Kane county. Prior to the appointment of Henry Dakin as county surveyor Mr. Mann held the position for four years and served the city for six years as engineer and surveyor.
Besides innumerable acquaintances to mourn his loss, Mr. Mann leaves four sons and two daughters--Henry P. and Charles E. Mann, of Boulder, Col., Eugene, of Batavia, Frank W., of Devil's lake, N.D., Mrs. Hattie Armstrong, of Chicago, and Mrs. E.B. Shearman, of Elgin.

   Word has been received by Dr. A.L. Mann, city medical officer, of the death of his uncle, Thomas Mann, one of Elgin's pioneer residents, who died at the Soldiers Home for Invalids at Washington, D.C. He is also an uncle of E.F. Mann, Elgin real estate dealer.
The deceased was born in Ireland and came to this county in 1852. At one time he lived on Douglas avenue where the home of Judge J.H. Williams now stands. He was a plasterer by trade and has worked on many of Elgin's old buildings and residences.
Mr. Mann was one of the first to enlist with the 55th Illinois Volunteer regiment, which saw active service in the Civil war. Fifteen years ago the aged soldier was removed to the Soldiers Home at Milwaukee. Following his residence there he lived for two years at Washington, D.C., where he died.
He is survived by two sons, Terance Mann of los Angeles, Cal., and Michael Mann. A Brother John, of Lincoln, Neb., also survives. The funeral arrangements have not been completed, but it is probable the body will be shipped to Elgin.
