S. McMannes, who is mentioned prior to this, is comparatively a late settler in Pittsford. He was born in Mearsville, Crawford county, Pennsylvania, but was brought up in Mercer county of that State. His residence in Iowa dates from 1849, when he came to Dubuque, and from thence to Grant county, where he engaged in mining.
.
He has been a resident of this township since 1874, and is at present engaged in the furniture business, having served an apprenticeship at the cabinet business in his native town, and followed that business while in Dubuque. Upon coming to Pittsford, he purchased a farm on section 29. He now owns one on section 28.
.
He was married to Mary Kline, of Pennsylvania, and they have five children – James N., Margaret A., Mary J., John W., and Bertha.
